Anyone have experience with the Norinco 99W 'Coach Gun'?

Does anyone own one of these?

What are your impressions?

Will it do OK with rifled slugs?

I'm not a cowboy shooter - just thinking of one for home defense.

thanks

buckshot is better than slugs imho. slugs travel throgh walls too easily, may be taking out people in the next room or 2 by accident. winchester 00buck, low recoil is my choice.

I have a Stoeger Coach Gun next to my bed for just that purpose, one barrel has a slug and one has buck shot. Great guns, fun at the range. Mine shoots slugs very well.

Joel -

Thanks for your reply - do you leave the Stoeger 'cocked & locked'? That is, with rounds in the chamber and the (internal) hammers cocked and the safety on?

That is what I like about the Norinco Coach Gun - it has external hammers. (And yes, I am assuming that the hammers can be safely decocked and the gun can be safely stored in that condition).
