I'm glad I don't know some of you personally.
I thank the rest of you for the helpful comment that I have received. I am not implying that all Saiga shotguns shoot soot, I merely posted that comment to see if this was a problem isolated to me or if others had had this problem. Using my shotguns for pest control around the house, I usually only have a few seconds to decide whether to grab the old side by side, or to get the saiga, try find some shooting glasses, and hope that the rodent is still standing there. Being I paid substantially more for the saiga I wish I could have more pleasure
