Buy recommendations Does anyone have experience with Churchill shotguns?

I'm considering getting one (I'm looking at the 612 with a 12" barrel) but I'm seeing mixed reviews everywhere. Not mixed in the sense they're mixed across the board, some websites they're rated extremely well and some are rated poorly. It makes me think either certain retailers mess with their item ratings, or their quality is truly all over the place.

Does anyone have one or know anyone who has one? What's your experience with them? $300 for something that always goes bang when you want it to would be a dream.

I have one and probably have 500+ shells through it of all kinds. It'll run fine but I know one day there will be a serious malfunction. In terms of use cases my favorite part about it is if theres ever a time you really needed it, fire all the rounds and drop it on the ground. Its a negligle cost to get one and the fact that you have a disposable 5 shell shotgun is pretty neat.
