Other that the fact they are a 3.5" magnum they are a fine shotgun...
3.5" mag is not for everybody. It's an aquired taste!
It will shoot all common loads though

In that light of a gun the 3.5" 12ga is as abusive as my 458 mag. Or worse. It's a less well designed stock and a much lighter gun. 2oz of shot at 1300 fps generates a substantial rearward acceleration moment.

The gun itself is fine. The solution is just avoid the pointless 3.5" ammo. It's well worth $189

It is good to live in a depraved time, as one can appear virtuous at little cost.

Just remember......Theres no need to fear....Unnnderdog is here!!! Well, scrappy anyway.....

Id don't plan on getting 3.5" ammo unless it happens to be a smokin deal. I actually had some from a previous smokin deal I found at walmart at the end of year clearance rack they usually have for shotgun ammo. the ammo I picked up was like 4.00 a box (red stickered) ....and at bass pro.com it was 19.99 a box. a quick google search forced me to take the deal.

It's just the 835...does anyone have problems with them or did have problems with them?
