Blackhawk Sentry 12 : Opinions on this?
So I ran into some of these at the LGS...

Mislabeled as 20 gauge( I suppose at least, I've found no reference to anything but 12 gauge), and priced at $699. I knew I had recalled seeing something about them a while back, but I could not find any references to them online except for that one blog review.
Handling one in person, it seemed much less awkward and better handling than my 870, at least for me, who is more familiar with ARs , which seems to be the point of the layout.
I didn't end up buying one, because of both thinking it was 20 gauge, and not knowing anything else about it beyond my impressions and recalling it had some connection to Blackhawk.
Looking on the Iron Horse Firearms site, it shows options for extra 5 and 8 round magazines at 19.99 and 24.99. And the only other product of note they produce is a thumb trigger AR... so that's a thing I guess.
Knowing there are some real shotgunning experts on here, what is the impression of this thing? Viable option(in theory), or gimmick?
