Necro thread, during the pandemic and Remington bankruptcy these Tac13's disappeared completely except for used, or old inventory items people wanted silly scalper prices for.
Now they are back on the market again and available, I am seeing GB prices as low as $1K which considering inflation since 2018 is not so crazy.
What was the consensus of those who actually bought and ran these things? Do they run? Well balanced for what it is? As easy as the Shockwave stocked 870's to shoot?
And yes I know about all the various Turkish variants, "firearms" that are still under $600, but I have no interest in those.

There was video of DB running said weapon. I think it was at his and WD’s training facility. Not sure.
DB could lay the hate with that thing.
I have not bought one, but I have run one.
It is a radically different experience than using the normal pump-action Shockwave guns. My shooting with one was limited, but it was much easier to run effectively and didn't load as much recoil into your wrist and elbow as the pump gun. The semi-automatic function really seems to make the gun much friendlier in the recoil and volume use department. Just as an example, I ran essentially the first half of an El Pres and I wasn't a whole lot slower with the Tac-13 than I was with a stocked 1301.
I've thought about buying one and setting it up with an optic ever since. The reason I haven't is because:
That seems to be hit or miss just like the full-sized shotgun they are based on. Some report theirs works great. Some report it worked great for a while and then developed problems. Some have never had it work well for them.Do they run?
I don't think there are a lot of them out there getting used on a serious basis so it's hard to tell.
A grand or so won't make a big difference in my lifestyle, but I haven't to run one bad enough to gamble that much money on it. After all, that used to be 1301 money. And now it's A300UP money. And both of those guns are eminently more practical for my use.
Considerably better than a pump action not-a-shotgun to shoot, in my limited experience behind one.Well balanced for what it is? As easy as the Shockwave stocked 870's to shoot?

I strolled into a local gun store looking for a .357 lever gun and saw one of these on the wall for less than I have seen them online. Decided to pick it up along with the lever gun. Hopefully I can get to a range where I can give it a whirl (my local range doesn't allow shotguns). I will say the vent rib puts the front bead in a much better place than the shockwave or the tac-14 sits.
