I'm not a fan of lever guns. When you work them without cartridges they're a lot smoother than working them with cartridges. It becomes painful after a while to work them with cartridges. You'll start wrapping your fingers around the lever or working it with your palm. I have big hands as well.
More importantly the fact that you're not a T2 fan disqualifies you from owning the lever action in the photo you posted. Back to >>>tr/a/nime with you.

I had a cimarron one and man did it suck total ass to shoot. Idk why it was one of the worst shooting shotguns I've ever shot in my life. I've got a trench gun that I love, but the 1887 just sucks total dick. I think the upswept barrel leads to a recoil impulse that is extra snappy, and it always dug into my shoulder and began to hurt like hell within 100 rounds of basic target/sport loads. Never had it that bad with a shotgun before. Other than that working the lever was fun but the ejection was a little weak which always led to some concern with me. I don't think I ever had a real malfunction with it because I always worked the lever pretty hard, but it didn't inspire confidence

My buddy had one of these he bought because of terminator, and it was hands down the most uncomfortable gun to shoot I have ever put rounds (shells) through.

It cycled terribly, your knuckles hurt, the awkward angle of the stock made the recoil weird.

I fired about 15 shells through it, put it down and never wanted to touch it again.

I’d add one to my collection if it was literally free.

Yall sound like slack jawed faggots

fair, that thing's cool and cool is the main reason most guys own guns. I'm not gonna pretend I like shooting it in real life or on a website with a bunch of weebs missing their genitals

hey now, in an 1887 thread it'd be "soundin like a buncha kansas city faggots" know wouldn't it?

You should seriously handle or better yet shoot an 1887 before you decide to buy one. In the absolute best possible scenario it is an incredibly uncomfortable and temperamental bitch of a gun that sucks to shoot. In most cases regardless of it being an original or a reproduction it's a complete basket case that jams and malfunctions constantly. The design is just plain awful in every way and you'd be better off with almost any other lever action rifle. Even the crappy Turkish lever action shotguns (really they are just a similar bolt/tube/receiver design as their pump actions only using a lever in order to bypass laws in places pump shotguns are banned) are less bad and that's saying a lot.

Its mainly the lever action part i like, not the 1887 specifically but i cant find any other lever action 12 gauges

>>65214138
Lots of turkshit models

>>65214163
I want them to work and not blow up tho

>>65214108
Elaborate on what makes the 1887 a poor design. I always liked how it looked, but I'm curious.

Reminder that Arnold almost broke his fingers practicing with it on set

My Chinese 1887 copy works fairly well, have to work the action vigorously for proper function.

Meanwhile I am happy to have a Henry 45-70
