Well........ There is that.

Guilty as charged. Discussing which gauge and load is the best is the same as saying which caliber and grain bullet combination is the best. Ultimately just a matter of perspective and what you like, many effective alternatives. Now I have shot some guns that did not like the look of very well at all like a Beretta SXS. The profile of gun is great but throw it to shoulder it looked like I was on top of a hill looking down a ski jump. Once I blocked that out and just focused on target I was hitting everything but it just felt icky as compared to shooting a Parker.
