Swing a 12-14 lb gun, it can be done. For grouse hunting, no, clays, yes.

I think sometimes we get too caught up in the perfect weight we prefer, and then when a gun is more, we tell ourselves that we will not shoot it well, try it before deciding!

BINGO!! Nailed it Stan.

My problem has always been that I find a gun that I want to be perfect in everyway and lie to myself in an effort to convince myself that it is, even though I realize what I am doing at the time it happens. These always end up going down the road. That is part of the joy of collecting; you realize that some guns will not really be used but they are so beautiful or so unique or have such a provenance that you want to own them just to be connected to them.
