They are cool. I have yearned for a short barreled AOW shotgun for a while. When I found out about these, I figured it was time to pull the trigger. Remington 870's and me go back a long time. I have a Asylum Weaponry Gatekeeper II waiting to be picked up at my local gun shop. I'll let you know how it does after I wring it out. I've got plenty of 12ga. ammo that needs to be shot.
