I have shot all the above except for the Colt and other stuff like meridans, baltimore arms, midlans (did I spell that right?), etc.
I was fortunate enough to have a father who appreciated all of the above and enjoyed shooting them for hunting (hard hunting) and clays and always allowed me full use of any of them whenever I wanted.
It was with many years of full use of these different brands that allowed me to find what felt best to me and that I shot the best and that "talked" to me.
We are lucky to have so many different types to choose from. They are like people, many different kinds. Find what lights you up. It may be just one or only from one maker, or like my dad it might be all of them.

I for one agree with Mr. Lester. 12 ga is king and for me make it a Parker.
