You should be worried  :)
First 3 rounds of 3.5" out of mine rocked my world. First 2 shots knocked my ear protection muffs off.
Why anyone would need to fire 3.5" shells out of this lightweight shotty beats me. I bought it because the store didn't have a 500 set up the way the 535 was.
I'll stick to 3" inthis one.

I wouldn't own one if it was free. 

Do large numbers of turkeys require SWAT tactics to kill?  Does one also require a bayonet for close range defense against such devestating 20 pound birds?

One the plus side, if you have any teeth that need to be removed you've probably found the cheapest solution!

I have one, but I wouldn't shoot a 3.5 incher out of it at all, no way I can take that kind of punishment.  The hottest thing I've shot from it has been a 3" Hevi 13 & I don't relish the thought of doing that again anytime soon.

Nice working guns for the money but if I were to buy again, I would probably go with the 500 or the 835 if I just had to have the 3.5" chamber.

OOPS!  I just noticed that you asked about the Turkey tatical, mine has the standard camo stock, same gun, just a different stock.

I have the standard stock. Killed two turkeys a few weeks ago with the 3.5" dont even remember it going off. Field shooting doesnt bother me at all with the 3.5 but I must emit I dont do much shooting with them once I got the gun patterned only time I shoot a 3.5 is at something I'm trying to kill and that doesnt bother me at all.
