I got her all oiled up with some Breakfree CLP and it is one nice looking gun. Plan on just using it for casual skeet shooting and has a home defense weapon in the corner of the bedroom.
Didn't mean to be disparaging mentioning Japan mfgr! They are excellent. Think Browning's having some stuff built in South America now that's not quite as good as US, Belgum, or Japan.
Skeet, and even trap are fun, but if possible try a bit of sporting clays, it's my favorite shotgun game. Also allows shooting a pump gun enough to "wear in" after a few thousand rounds to get that "slicker-N-snot" feel.
