Elmer Keith spelled it out, they are built ''Flimsay'', to light for American'' shells.
Most of them have very short chambers. Who would want a 12ga. with 2in. chambers
and shooting 3/4 oz. of shot. You might as well shoot the 410ga., the worst of our gauges.

Says a guy who never shot a two inch twelve gauge.

I find plenty 2.75 inch english chambers. Elmer was was an idiot about shotguns.

American shotguns are great for clubbing seals. Shooting birds not so much.😁😁
