One would think that a long recoil gun like the Auto-5 would be at a disadvantage when it came to cycling speed. This article sets the story straight: http://www.multigunmedia.com/speed-shotguning.pdf
Wow!!!!!!!!!!! I shot against Jim Wall twenty years ago when I started out trying competitive pistol at the Parma Gun Club range. He was shooting a 1911 that had been in a fire, with NO sights. (!) At the time he lived about 10 miles away. I also know of Neth with ISP. That article was from the early 90's as I recall. I did not know the A5 was faster than the others.
