This is my Dominion Arms Grizzly 12 gauge shotgun. I've now had it for a couple of years and it is very reliable. Because it has a 12.5 inch long barrel it's more compact and I find it easier to pack around in the canoe or around camp. In my opinion it's probably the most versatile firearm, as the variety of ammunition is fantastic. One of the rounds that I like to carry is a German manufactured Red signal flare, I've tested them and it maxes out about 200 feet.
