My son shoots a SuperSport 12 gauge which is similar to the Cordoba with porting and a slightly flashier finish. I do not notice any excessive noise at 5-stand, sporting clays, or skeet stations. He has not had it in a duck blind or over dogs yet, but I do not see them as a problem. It will cycle 1 ounce and even 7/8 ounce loads all day long with a lot less maintenance than a gas operated gun.

I had the same experience as perrytrails, installed a larger diameter aftermarket front bead on a SBE II (Allen Mega Bead) and an M2 SteadyGrip (Tri-Viz) and the patterns moved down. I have always aimed at the waddles anyway, so a bit lower was not that much change. Keeping your cheek weld is also important.
