In my continuing fascination with the SG, I've started to seriously think about going through the additional effort to acquire a short-barreled SG. From what I’ve read, OH is NFA-friendly, and a civilian can own a SBS legally with the appropriate federal paperwork/tax stamp, etc.
My question is simple: Is it worth going through the hassle to own a SBS? I know that’s a subjective question. But, do those of you who own these enjoy the ownership even if it’s a safe queen (collector) or home defense piece and not carried in a patrol car to, possibly, defend your life?
There is very little information on the actual usage of the SBS. If you’ve worked out with one, can you comment on handling characteristics? How do they pattern? Recoil concerns? I’m thinking 870 Remington here – set up like the Wilson Combat “Professional†model.
Basically, do these things live up to the hype?
As always, thanks for a great SG forum.
