As someone who always loved the Remington 1187 police with 14'' barrel i owned one for many years up until i had to hand it in when the E-cat laws were done away with. Another gun i always wanted to own was a M4 Benelli 14" with pistol grip stock and collapsible butstock but that was well out of my reach and not available in NZ. Since the raft of new gun laws i saw that Delta Mike www.deltamike.co.nz was selling a clone of the Benelli. after checking the youtube videos i saw that it exceeded the Benelli because it could handle light loads and all the parts were interchangeable. For $1199.00 i figured it was a cheap purchase to make as if it didn't work i could return it.
After a day of using 250 7/8 clay loads, 125 00sg 36gr loads along with 20 Aguilla 7/8 1.75" slugs loads the gun never failed to shoot or eject. mind you i hadn't broke it down or cleaned it. when i did break it down and cleaned it all loads had been fired through the mod choke (gun comes with 5 chokes). Since then i've put another 1000 rounds of 28gr 9.5 Club28 loads through it and it always cycles....so now its pride of place in my cabinet. its not the same tool as my Miroku but if i need something to never fail with any ammo or for self defence or killing a hog in the bush i will grab the TAC-12.
Now i'm saving up for another one with a 28 inch barrel and convention stock for duck hunting.
its the gun in the middle. (all guns available from deltamike.co.nz ) it also comes with a mag limiter behind the mag tube nut (easy to remove or replace). and breakdown doesn't require tools.
