Hello all, RON L here
Hm,m, Yes, I have to agree witthe weight/Weight supplied a 12GA should be no issue to handle! I see 20 Ga as a Good round as well, but the varied amount of low Brass 12Ga make 20 gage less then needed in my opuinion! I will alos agree that a single shot, while a nice hunting item, for some,, for Home Defence, I wee a Pump or Semi-Auto as Preferable with the Pump bing better for many! I see a 12Ga or any shot gun as sort of a "Swiss Army Knife" Of Fireams with Slugs and Buckshot, a real stopped and good fot heavy game and Self Defence and a swop of a ligher shot and sometimes barrel and your ready for light game or birds? Hard to beat i many other firearms selected! Lots to consider, and if it were me, Find a Pal, someone ya trust who owns a 12 and say I'll buy the shells lets try your, Betting you will be out the door to a Fav place to shoot before ya know what hit ya?
