I bought one two weeks ago , primarily as a game gun . It weighs 7lb 11oz .. IMHO it’s too light and too ‘ fast ‘ for a serious registered comp sporting clay gun . I bought the 30” barrelled gun specifically for what I’d call parkland pheasant snd partridge , where I’d find my 32” mk38 trap too ponderous and too heavy for my 68 year old body to lug about walking between drives . The MK11 comes with Auto Safety ( bad for clays IMHO ) , which is easily removed if you’re that way inclined , the gun also has a solid thinnish top rib , I doubt that on a 4 or 5 pairs sporting clays stand the lack of venting would be an issue but if you hammer enough cartridges through it fast you can get a slight heat haze over the barrel ( experienced on a sim day ) . It feels pleasant with a nice weight between the hands and a slight rear balance on my particular gun , the trigger is a 525 inertia unit , but in a 725 action body . Barrels are solid mid rib . Oddly for a game gun it has a Pachameyer decelerator pad with a hard plastic heel so supports gun down shooting without catching your vest . Mine will be getting a leather covered Kickeeze in due course . Superior steel proofed 3” chambers but IMHO I won’t be shooting minimag steel 4s anytime soon , it’s too light . If you only shoot for fun at the local gun club , it’s a possibility, but I doubt you’ll see anyone serious using one in the completion world

Have a couple students using them. Depends on body type and methods u apply.

No such thing as a fast handling gun - gun can only move as fast as I turn

The m11 is not my cup of tea, bit over top for me, much prefer my Miroku 800SW sporting bought new in 1975/6 had thousands of cartridges through it and still tight, my go to gun.
