Suspect you discovered what many of us have. When you use a true target gun for any extended period for the first time, it doesn't feel or handle very much like a field gun. The Kreighoff is a brute of a gun, which compared to a light field gun, has the handling dynamics of a crew served weapon. As Bill says, it will last generations, but it is a demanding mistress. It is designed to do one thing very, very well - break targets. Particularly in relatively predictive presentation environments like skeet and trap where all that mass adds stability and repeatability to your swing. If you shoot a lot more skeet than you do field or clays, then I would learn to love (and shoot) the Krieghoff and take the penalty on the other days. If you are a casual skeet shooter, you may actually be doing yourself some harm in all disciplines by switching to a pure target gun for skeet. A lighter (and yet still durable) skeet gun which more closely mimics your field and clays guns may be the answer.
