Meh, in my humble opinion as a former SPAS-12 owner, the original wasn't that great either. Heavy, slow to reload (you've got to roll it over onto its back, hold down a large mushroom shaped button to unlock the loading gate/shell lifter, then you can shuck shells into the magazine), and even on automatic with low brass shells the recoil was stout. On pump with high brass loads, like buckshot or slugs, the recoil was brutal. They look cool, and I'll admit they are reliable even with light target loads, but they still kinda suck.
