One of the NRA magazines for this month has a write-up for a Black Aces lever action shotgun, which comes in a few different flavors. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried or owns one? It seems like there's too much work for the shooting hand to do in a self defense situation. Also, reliability is always the #1 question right before price. Looks like a cool gun, though.

I wonder where they are made? Turkey?

Lever action shotguns are popular in Australia due to our ridiculous gun laws. Semiautomatic and pump-action shotguns are illegal to own unless you are an agricultural landowner, primary producer, or professional hunter. So to get around our laws, there's quite a few different lever action shotguns available in Australia; the majority of which are made in Turkey.

Never heard of them until now, looks interesting. I have a repro 1887 winchester that runs good but is a pia to load fast. I can run my marlins, M12s and ‘97 pumps faster. Btw, I’m a cas shooter.

Reviews of their semiauto shotguns have not been favorable. Not sure about their lever actions.
