[Saiga-12 questions]

Hi all!

I'm looking for a all around dependable defensive shotgun. In the past I've mostly been looking at a Remington 870P 18" IC barrel with 7 shot magazine tube,but recently a friend of mine suggested that I take a look at the Saiga-12.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a forum that seems to be dedicated to Saiga products. I'm really not familar (other than what I have seen on the internet and at Klashnikov USA) with the Saiga that being said my questions are as follows.

The Model I'm looking at is the one with the 19"IC barrel for civilians.

1.)What is the total weight and length of the shotgun? (in lbs. and inches please)

2.)What kind of finish is on all metal parts and how is it holding up?

3.)How are the magazines holding up?(I understand that they are made out of plastic)

4.)Are these shotguns finicky with ammo?Has anyone tryed to run low recoil ammo through them? Will I be able to shoot 00 buckshot and slugs in the model that I'm looking at?

5.)How do they handle in the hands? What is the recoil like?

6.)How is the shotgun holding up after going over the 1000 rd. mark?

7.) Last question I swear!(but it is the most important) Would you trust this shotgun with your life?

All of your opinions and comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
