Love mine. Wow you waited two months before shooting it? You have more willpower than I do.

haha it was killing me not shooting it, the reason behind not shooting was that i had ankle surgery. Going to the range and hunting wasn't in the mix of things at the time. But i do love the thing, i would have to say its my favorite shotgun that I've come across and shot.

Just teasing, love mine also. Read my review on the SXP to see the problem I had shooting a pump shotgun until I found the SXP Defender.

stags30, when you purchased your SXP did you get a magazine plug with it? I did not have one in the box and I was just wondering if there should have been one.
Thanks

It will be great for skeet, also jump-shooting rabbits & grouse. Word of caution, if you take it to the woods in snow, be careful. I did that with a Mossberg 930 in the midwest and found that if one slips in snow going up an incline, I tend to plant the stock in the snow for a brace. When you do that, that short barrel can be uncomfortably close to your face, instead of protruding past your head :o I gave up on that venture.
