Finally got the opportunity to shoot my SPX today. I am new to shotguns so went without any expectations. I tore it apart and cleaned it, didn't feel the trigger assy. was loose and the sites were ligned as far as I could tell, definitely alot more accurate then I thought it would be.

I wanted to try a variety of shells, hearing that the SPX could shoot just about anything. Knowing I am nowhere near all the options and I know I will get some flack for not shooting any 00, I still think I shot a good enough variety. 00 and slug next time for sure :)

Winchester Super Target 1oz 8 Shot
Winchester Xpert 1oz 7 Shot
Federal Game load 1 oz 8 shot
Federal Game load 1 oz 6 Shot
Federal Multip purpose 1 1/8 oz 7 1/2 Shot. (Variety pack)

In total I shot about 130 rounds with 2 malfunctions. one was definitely my fault as one of the variety pack rounds had excess plastic over the brass. I knew it would probably lead to a problem but wanted to see what the SPX would do with it. Shot fine but would not eject, simple rod down the barrel ejected the cartridge. Second malfunction had something to do with the elevator when I was attempting ghost loading, I may have just gotten it wrong, I don't hold it against the weapon.

Overall I am very happy with my purchase, it won't be my only shotgun and I look forward to comparing it with others I purchase down the road.
