What a great trip -- shoot of a lifetime for me in many ways. It's not about volume but good company and wild birds and a great diversity of them -- friends and birds.
My Beretta performed flawlessly -- its owner did not.
M21 Ed lent me his M 21 12-ga one day for pigeon and doves. I shot it a lot better than my my B gun. I liked it.
In all fairness it only acted up once.
I am not used to single-trigger 21s and once when pulling-squeezing the trigger I pushed the selector half-way between settings and it locked up. A simple flick and all was well.
BTW, I do have several photos of Smallbore admiring Ed's 21 and for the right price I can be tempted into posting them ....
I can be had for cheap, maybe a beer ... If Ed doesn't sue me for teaching his gun bad habits I'll do it for free.
