A lightweight 20ga sxs stocked correctly firing 3/4 oz load. I will use a 24 SxS when the time is right.

I can understand why many might recommend a auto because of recoil, but if properly fitted with a light load the side by side will work well.

I am not a fan of single shots, though my Father did start me on one and the world changed positively when I got to use a two barrel gun. What we learn can affect us later and many can't make the transition mentally to the SxS once they get used to the single barrel sighting plain.

Surprised how many recommended a pump, but to each his own
