Dean nailed it. It is indeed entirely subjective, especially I think, with the 12ga. For ducks and such a 2 or 3 frame to handle the heavier loads is great. For pheasants over flushing dogs a 1-1/2 or a 2 frame works well, depending on how close the dogs work. Over good pointing dogs and birds that hold, a 1 or 1-1/2 frame works best for me. For quail, chukars, grouse and woodcock in cover, a short 1-frame just can't be beat. I do love my 1-frame, 26" open-choked GHE12 for heavy cover and carrying all day. Oh yeah, it's subjective for sure, and that's why you gotta have a house full!

The vast majority of my Parker's are either O or 1 frame guns with the O frames leading the pack
