Barrett shotguns?
Anyone got firsthand experience with these? From my reading Barrett launched multiple lines of o/u guns in the 2017 timeframe. They seem to be a fine firearm, but they apparently discontinued all of them not too terribly long after, I presume to stick to their primary market being rifles. I'd assume they didn't sell very well or perhaps they had some problems, or something. Fausti made them and Barrett's standard seems to be high, so I'd imagine the guns couldn't have had too many issues.
I've stumbled upon a few for sale, and my curiosity was piqued. I prefer of Prince of Wales stock and they're not exactly mainstream, making these guns appeal to me even more. I just like the round knob look and more importantly they're on the slimmer side, making them a good fit for my hands. I like the field grade guns as I haven't gotten immersed into any of the clay games, aside from shooting skeet regularly. Though I intend to start shooting at the Wateree range more often since it's right down the road from me. With improvement as my goal, I feel the solution is multi faceted. I need to leave my comfort zone, get stronger on fundamentals, challenge myself and shoot more often.
All that being said a field gun that doubles for clays seems to be more practical to me, but I'm not above looking for a good all around clays gun that's versatile enough to take on all skeet, clays or trap yet will double as a field gun. These last few years I find myself grabbing my o/u more for doves and ducks.
A couple of these Barrett guns seem to be suitable for that need, but I just don't know much about them and figured I'd see what y'all knew about em.

Delta in a nutshell: Breeding grounds + small wetlands + big blocks of grass cover + predator removal + nesting structures + enough money to do the job= plenty of ducks to keep everyone smiling!
