Hi I have reading a lot of bad reviews about the investarm shotguns I went and got another one I had one many years ago I went out with the gun to try it out I was using kent high velocity 29 gram 6's fibre wad the wind was very stong and the birds were high too get over the trees six shots gave the end to 3 scut pigeons these guns do fold in half and you have to push the lever forward after opening to re cock the hammers apart from that these guns are well made and not too heavy plus when its broke open it hangs over your shoulder leaving both hands free for carrying game etc this is just my tuppence worth
