Shitpost / Memes Valtro PM-5 Appreciation Post

Post image

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet ANOTHER Gun Appreciation Post, where today, we got another popular gun in Canada that was manufactured by Valtro, but now it’s made by Brixia, the PM-5 Shotgun, which is distributed by Savminter Enterprises in Canada.

I know this isn’t the only mag fed shotgun that you can get in Canada, since of course there is the Hawk-97-2, a Chinese 870 clone (Hawk Shotguns are one of the only few New Production Chinese Firearms we can buy in the states since Norinco was banned from importing in here), but the PM-5 is definitely one that is an option.

As for its legality, I don’t know if it is under the prohibited list in Canada, but if any of y’all have any experience with the shotgun, do tell your experiences in the comments!

Anyways, Enjoy!

I had one with a barrel that ended at the end of the pump slide in 2006. They came to canada with two barrel options, one said to be made by valtro that I had and one rumoured to be made by mossberg. Your image is the mossberg barrel. The valtro barrel had a fiber optic front sight, barrel venting on the top portion of the barrel and a far superior rear ghost ring sight. It had a relatively long length of pull and cycled flawless with 2 3/4 or 3 inch shells. I bought it for polar bear defense and I liked it, but didnt love it enough to keep it. For a similar price Id much rather a more modern semi auto. Its only appeal for me was it could be quickly loaded and unloaded without handling each shell when getting in and out of helicopter several times a day. I dont really miss it.
