Metal mouth is definitely a good sounding call, can't go wrong! I was on the fence about a new pot from him this yr but decided to try one of his purpleheart\cedar box calls. I got it yesterday and it sounds awesome!! Pure turkey. Id highly recommend it!I'm a pot call guy 100% but Im very glad I got this box call over another pot. I know he usually comes out with a new or limited edition pot call this time of year, so you might want to wait and see what he comes out with before you decide.

His Purple Heart/cedar box is a good one. Runs real easy n sounds great. I like his mistress, sugar town sweetness n laminate slate best

owned one and sold it. own a twisted sister and its still here. I must be the exception , because i honestly didnt like the sound. It will call turkeys no doubt , but i didnt really have as good of responses as i have with the sister where i hunt.

I have the Metal Mouth and I love it!! If you are looking for a change up call I would highly recommend picking one up. It is a a little more raspy on the front end than the sister and the mistress, and has a popping rollover.

I personally don't think it gets better than a crystal mistress for a huntin call

My favorites to date are the Twisted Sister and his Purple Heart/cedar box call. Like stated above, all his calls are quality looking calls and sound great.

Twisted Sister is my favorite pot of his with the Metal Mouth right behind it.

His ceramic is also a good call and easy to run.

His double glass is a strait up meat call. It doesn't get enough love in my opinion.

The Mistress is my favorite it has pulled in more than a few birds to the gun for me. I also have had good luck with his aluminum and ceramic! I have a ebony/poplar box coming from him soon that I can't wait to get!

Metal mouth is by FAR my favorite of his pot calls. I've got the mistress and twisted sister but that metal mouth is nuts. Paired mine with a Harold fowler striker that has a mammoth ivory tip and it's unreal. It likes my Stuckey tulipwood stick as well.

Now this is a mind blown situation. Guess I'll be in the market for another pot this year(maybe two).

A Twisted Sister is hard to beat.

I've owned a few and the only one I have kept is my Twisted Sister. It's a great call and my go to if I decide to use a pot call.

I've hunted and killed birds with the Metal Mouth and the Twisted Sister but use the Twisted Sister 3 out of 4 times out.

I have a Metal Mouth I really like, but never run any of his others to claim it's the best?

I'm not one to buy several of the same type calls, and thought I made a mistake and should of bought a Crystal Mistress or Twisted Sister after buying, and reading where most seem to like these two better than the Metal Mouth?

But then again the Metal Mouth is rather new compared to the other two, which could be the reason? And many might have not even tried the Metal Mouth, but claim the others are better? So if you are making a choice on one of these three, based on opinions, make sure they have tried all 3 of them, I just can't make that claim.

Imo there's no question the mistress is the best n I've run all 3

I owned all of these, and none of them really did much for me....go figure.

I have his Metal Mouth and I really like it. Great raspy yelps. Great whines and purrs and really poppy cuts. You can scream on it or quiet it down nicely. It's easy to play and has a nice break and rollover.
I wouldn't hesitate to get any of his calls. He knows how to make a turkey call!

I own all 3 all are great but the Mistress is top choice imo.
