Smith and Wesson 1000 shotgun re-test. Persistence pays off! Finally cycles! (Sort of)
This review details a persistent re-test of a Smith & Wesson Model 1000 shotgun, aiming to achieve reliable cycling. The host, an experienced firearms enthusiast and hobbyist gunsmith, systematically tests various ammunition types, from light target loads to powerful reloads. The video demonstrates that while lighter loads fail to cycle the action, heavier ammunition allows the gas-operated semi-automatic to function, albeit with minor imperfections initially. The assessment concludes the shotgun is suitable for clay sports with appropriate ammunition.
