I won't try and sell you anything. When conditions are right I can kill the most fragile game bird in North America just as easily with a four-ten as with anything else. When conditions are not right it would be the poorest choice I could make.

On the other hand, the twelve gauge you mentioned is always the last gun I would choose for what I do. I own a total of one twelve gauge double gun and I only load it with 3/4 or 7/8 ounce loads. Ninety-nine days out of a hundred I would choose both a smaller and lighter gun for launching such miniscule payloads.

I could post pictures like these all day long just as a number of others could but suffice it to say that the combination of shooter, conditions, and quarry are often compatible with the little gun.
