what I love about my sub-gauge guns has nothing to do with shooting them...it has to do with the 99% of the time that I am simply carrying them...they a joy to carry. I recall taking an aya 4/53 20 gauge from a gun rack about ten years ago, and "getting it" instantly....12's don't affect me that way, but maybe there are some that would....but like someone had written, it was like taking a petite lady onto the dance floor...much different than anything I had experienced....
I agree. I am, and will be for the foreseeable future, a 12 ga. man, primarily. I shoot a lot of sporting clays, and the 12 ga. is simply the king at that game. But, in the last few years I have become more and more enamored with sub-gauge double-guns for hunting. My latest, a 16 ga. AE Fox (1919) has 30" barrels, but I have never held a gun in my hands that felt more lively and agile, without being overly quick to move. It is a joy to look at, but I really believe I will be able to shoot it well. T'will be awhile until I know for certain, as I am having to deal with LOP issues right now.
