Since this is my first wallet, I can't make a comparison to the plethora of wallet choices out there. I was looking for a traditional CTW and a switch wallet combined. The Buma Shogun model fit the bill and at a price that makes it attractive to first time buyers.

The quality of the wallet is very good - well made and sturdy. The leather is a bit stiff, but hopefully this will give it some durability. While it is a bit larger than a traditional billfold, there's no problem fitting in my back pocket. All the gimmicked features are well thought out and work like a charm. This has become my everyday wallet, even though it's a bit low on compartments.

The included instruction sheets are very basic and only include one full routine, so you may want to seek out additional material if you're new to wallets. But the Buma Shotgun is a great way to get started and has been a very satisfying out of the box experience.

The four-star rating is because I don't have enough experience to say it's the best, but I'm looking forward to many years of use and learning.
