I watched the video. That's wide, probably as wide as an 8 bore. Seems wider than a 10 but of course not as tall. With three barrels I think one ondr and 2 above would have been a better configuration.(for me)

I had read about their tribarrel 410 which was supposed to be the width of a 12 SxS. The article said that several were sold to quail hunters (the 410 is popular with quail hunters - shots generally under 25 yds)
I agree with Daryl that a SxS with 3rd barrel below (drilling style) would make more sense. The 3 SxSxS barrel 28 ga seems wiiide. Of course, that gun could handle very well.
I question the 2 triggers. Is the middle barrel bored skeet and the other barrels bored with progressively tighter chokes?
Unfirtunatelky these guns are very pricy.

Because two triggers are always better.
Front trigger shoots the middle barrel. First pull of the rear trigger, the right barrel. The second pull of the rear trigger, the left barrel.
No idea about choking. The barrels need some order.
A three barrel side by side would scare most modern under and over shooters.

If the barrels were bored something like IMP CYL, MOD then FULL, central, right then left, trigger selection would allow good choke selection.
I must admit 2 Ithaca SxS 20 bore I had was a delight on decoyed ducks and teal. I found skeet loads of 7/8oz. #9's perfect to about 35 yards. No body shots and all heads and necks - bloody deadly with multiples often.
Why do we sell guns we only later cherish?
A 28 bore would have been even better.

Be interesting to see how it balances. May get away with it in .410. A lot of work has gone in to that shotgun, all the way to the snap caps in it.

That's quite special. I do not like the .410 on our grouse so sold mine and the ammo (which was hard to find here).
I did not try #4's, which I am told are necessary. I only used 6's.
