This is a really good target for your Three Aces success. If you are running a Three Aces Rogue deck anyway, and are also wanting to get in on some damage, I would recommend going for this as a combo piece to that.

Three Ace grant you the automatically success. It doesn't count as success test because it skipped. So you didn't succes by X amount — AquaDrehz · 205
Automatic success counts the skill test difficulty as 0. You’d “succeed by” whatever your total skill value is. — Kergma · 11
You are right. Kergma. — AquaDrehz · 205
Oh man, when is someone going to build a Double Double-Lucid Dreaming-Three Aces deck to pull off this combo! — Zinjanthropus · 231

The lack of combat boost really limits this card, especially on hard or expert level. If the original Shotgun is also an option, it is usually better, as in comparison it gives +3 twice for only 2 resources more. The sawed-off is only better if you can succeed by 6, which is very difficult indeed for most enemies that you might want a big weapon to fight. For s without access to cards, all but perhaps the most buffed Tony Morgan would prefer Chicago Typewriter and .45 Thompson over the sawed-off, both also capable of dealing 12 damage but much more likely to do so.

you're forgetting that Sure Gamble exists and can all but guarantee hitting at 6. — Difrakt · 1333
Rogues have access to a lot more skill bumps than other classes. I don't think the lack of a +3 is going to hurt. — Calprinicus · 6443
I agree. The card would be challenging to pull off for a Guardian, but Rogue's are tricky. Although, if you have the Sawed Off and you don't have Sure Gamble or something similar, you may be waiting around until you can set up the shot. Conversely, getting a shot off with the regular Shotgun is easy enough for Guardians who have combat icons up to wazoo. — LaRoix · 1647
I just noticed this unexpectedly a one-handed weapon. That does make a little better! — jmmeye3 · 633
With Sharpshooter (in the Winifred Habbamock pack), the attack now tests agility and you can boost it with Streetwise, Cunning, Manual dexterity, ... — AlexP · 298
Another interesting point about the sawed-off is that you sleight of hand this out if you're playing with the taboo list. It also won't compete with Lockpicks, for instance. — Zinjanthropus · 231
Yes, I’m coming around to the sawed off. The fact that it one takes one hand slot helps it fill a really nice overachieving role. My review was published before it was clear that it was one-handed, which does make a big difference! Also, my comparison with Shotgun is a moot point because I don’t think any investigator could choose either of these (only one is going to be an option) — jmmeye3 · 633

This card also deserves consideration in big money rogue decks! At some point Well Connected will boost your to astronomical levels, enough to make this a good tech card for times when you need to fight a big boss at the end of the scenario.

The introduction of Underworld Market makes this card especially good as you can make sure you have it on hand for when you need it (especially with a Fence also living in the market, letting you save playing it until you actually need it). You might even be able to fit a couple Contraband/Contraband in your market deck...

These two points put together means that a natural home would be in Jenny, who can put together a big money plan alongside being able to play Underworld Market. (Sorry Preston!)

Sure Gamble + this in Hard or Expert can be a fun time. Also if you have access to One in the Chamber like Skids or Tony. — StyxTBeuford · 13053

I feel like Robert Castaigne can breathe new life into this card. Whether you're Tony Morgan or Michael McGlen, you can have it sit in your hand and fire it once per turn as a fast action.

I wouldn't be shocked if Robert ends up with a similar taboo to something like Sleight of Hand, limiting the level of cards he can affect - although if he does, it'll impact the Remington Model 1858 that pretty much feels like it was designed to work with him. That, or a taboo saying "actually no you do have to actually play or discard the card".
