I've had a few of those Model 12s and taken in the context of the American eye, a beautiful shotgun. One from 1916 and the other from 1935. Love the gun, especially its war record but, I just can't get use to the position of that safety. I never shot one very well and its seemed every time I missed with one I always thought to myself, if I only had my Ithaca.
On trap courses, 11, 12, my highest ever was a 14 whereas with my Ithaca, 20, 21, 24, and even a few 25s. That pretty much sums up my experiences with a Model 12. I sold both.
