Key points: PSA 570 pump shotgun
- The PSA 570 runs about $550 with Magpul SGA-style furniture; the cheaper furniture option saves roughly $100.
- Included extras — optic cut, tang safety, adjustable sling mount, twin action bars and 7+1 capacity — make it fair value on sale near $475, if it works.
- Despite dual extractors, the shotgun logged around 15 extraction failures, starting with ordinary birdshot.
- One failure double-fed a shell behind a stuck case and locked the action, and clearing it required a proprietary tool to disassemble.
- On the next range trip the trigger group began working itself out of the gun on every pump, ending the test at about 250 rounds.
- The reviewer bought the gun; a PSA RMA request went unanswered for weeks after an initial reply.
- The reviewer calls it a Gen 1 engineering problem like the PSA Jakl and Dagger launches, not a quality-control fluke, and advises waiting for a redesign.

And here was PSA, you know, promising something with a good set of features that a lot of people were excited about. […]
