I've got an A-5 two barrel set - skeet and full - and that is all I need. It is a 12 gauge.

Throw a Light 20 or Sweet 16 up some time it feels a bit different . I’ve got three barrels for the 12 Mag although ones a Hastings rifled barrel . But that thing feels like a club compared to the Light 20 or even this 20 Mag . I had a Light 12 with 26” IC barrel that pointed nicely , but I always noticed the slightly heavier feel of the gun .

Is a Browning automatic with a square knob stock really an A-5?

That straight grip is awesome. I don't have one, but I want one.
