You lucky Canadians can buy a SBR right off the shelf!! That looks like a great gun for that price! I have the 20 ga. Shockwave.

Had never heard of these .357 and .44 Mag pump rifles when they were built. Very cool!

These were built by Israel Military Industries (now IWI), and imported by Action Arms and Springfield. They were originally designed for law enforcement at a time when many forces were still using .357/.38 Spl revolvers. They were intended as a trunk/riot gun that would use the same ammo as the 'current' handguns. Unfortunately, by the time they made it to market, many forces had changed to 9mm and .40 cal semi-auto pistols.

Needless to say, they didn't sell well. It's a shame...they're a really slick little rifle, and scarce as hen's teeth. I have the only 2 I've ever seen in person. Both of mine are Springfield versions.

Buckshot is worthless on a large bear. I would not suggest shooting heavy slugs out of that 12” barrel, it would blow your ears right off your head.I think that shorty with mini slugs would be cool, if you were actually allowed to use it for self defense in your home...

I’m going to beg to differ. Even if you get two shots off, that’s 18 .33 caliber lead balls going at 1500 FPS. Put two of those into the face of a bear and it will be discouraged to say the least.
