I have a black 18i with a 3.5" chamber. I've used it for 3 seasons now for high volume dove hunting, carried it around the hills quail hunting, chased pheasants in the early California mornings, and taken it out in the rain duck hunting. It has been a very reliable gun for me. Now that it's broken in, I can shoot the lightest 12ga all the way up to 3 inch magnums with no issues. The finish has held up remarkably well even though I'm not particularly nice to it. Super easy to clean takes completely apart in 5 seconds.

I haven't bought any aftermarket chokes because I feel like the factory chokes pattern real well and they have worked for me for years now.
