I prefer smaller gauge guns because they are typically lighter to carry in the field (read brush, gnarly abandoned apple orchards, blackberry tangles, steep wooded slopes) so give me a six pound gun every time. I’ll gladly suffer the consequences(?) of the smaller payload thank you.
I simply don’t need a 12 gauge gun… but I have a few that see daylight during turkey season.
