You can count me as another ex-Red label owner (28", 12 gauge, choke tubes) and my experience with it was one reason I never considered buying a Gold Label. The gun just never fit me well, though I shot maybe 45-50 rounds of skeet with it over a couple of years, I never did as well as I did with my other shotguns. It was 100% reliable, though despite being pretty heavy the felt recoil seemed worse than my other 12-gauge guns.
I think Ruger's decision to make the GL only as a 12 gauge single trigger model sealed its fate. Were it initially offered as a DT 16 or 20 gauge, maybe I (and apparently a number of others) might have given it a chance.
