This was exactly what I was looking for, a low recoil round for my 12 gauge self defense shotgun. My go-to is always Target Sports and they never let me down. User friendly site, fast delivery and great quality products.
Jaime T.
Shoots fine, cycles fine, groups fine. Only downside, it has a cup and roll crimp top, so it's longer than a star crimp version. Because of this you get one less round in the mag tube. Good training ammo though.
