Can you combat load while in use?

Hi Lonnie and welcome. It is possible but not practical due to the behind the grip loading. I just tried a dummy load and can combat load but it is not smooth nor quick. Cheers and stay safe!

No since it loads behind the pistol grip it would take a contortionist to do it

what a great deal on a great little self defense shotgun, light wieght ,no issues with jamming with shotshells I prefer,fast pain free shipping to my dealer,this is my new travel protection as it is very maneuverable in the cab of a truck and easy to carry with provided sling. Once again,another great Buds gun deal!

Awesome bullpup shotgun, remember to take packaging grease off, easy takedown for cleaning, and had none of the issues of other SA guns requiring high velocity rounds to proper cycling. First 100 rounds of birdshot, with 0 failures, followed by 00-buck and slugs, flawlessly. Recommended!
