They are kind of cool because if you have a barrel length tube, you can put a LOT of them in there. I have heard of cycling problems with some guns though. I have never tried 'em.

Anybody remember all of the specialty shotgun shells? Dragon's breath, bolo rounds, flash bangs, flechettes????? I haven't been to a gun show in a long time but used to see them quite a bit. Anybody ever try them out?

good luck getting them to cycle right unless you have a Mossberg 500 with the adapter for them in it

About 15 years ago I bought my first two shotguns.  Mossberg 500 in .410 for my slightly built wife and a 590 in 12 Ga. for me.  I bought 2 cases of ammo in  7 1/2 because it was recommended by my forum bros for indoor use.  Around June, after watching the nightly news,  I bought a case of 00buck for the 12 ga.  I feel that this my not be a inside problem anymore.  As for the mini's, perhaps for snakes or rats?

As pointed out by redhawk480, they were a cycling nightmare for me.
The old High Standard would just spit them right off the elevator and onto the floor.
My 500 would feed them (I wasnt aware of any adapter), but only occasionally if you cycled the action slowly and deliberately. 
Since I bought them for "inside the house" distances, they obviously didn't fit the bill.
Like AOC, sorta cute, but worthless.

I didn't know there was an adapter either, until now.  Check out this video;

I don't have any direct experience with them but have read the Winchester 1200 shotguns will cycle them reliably and are one of the few guns that will.
I think I'll buy some to try out in my Benelli M2 just for grins...

I have found the cycling with the  Opsol hard rubber adapter is 100% in my Mossberg 500 pump. The 1-3/4" short shells pattern well and still pack a decent wallop with almost no recoil.
A great learning round for kids and recoil sensitive grownups.
 I like the Challenger brand of shorty shell over the Agulia they are at least as good and I think a bit better overall and can be found for less cost.
The Challenger brand is from  France and brass base is marked  Canada, Sold by S.E.C. LIBEC, OF QUEBEC. 
A couple of months ago Brownell's had been selling them at a very reasonable price

I like those Mini-Shells in my Stoeger Coach Gun.

If you buy an Opsol Mini Clip make sure you buy it from their website:

Amazon was selling counterfeits and screwed this company over.

That'll cycle about as well as 7/8 oz lite loads in the SBE. LOL
