Just a note.alot of people complain about having to use those plastic jackets that you have to insert the 209 primer into.this one you don't have to.comes with 2 breech plugs.one for use with the jacket the other one you just put the primer into.also,you can remove the complete trigger assembly in less than 5 seconds,for cleaning.about a 3 lb trigger pull.barrel changes with no tools.not to make any encore fans upset,but the ease of use and cost far are way better than an encore.remember that is just an opinion.
