the 10 gauge was kind of a fun-gun idea, not anything serious. I don't care for doubles, really. Its not out of ignorance, either. I used to own one, and it was an EAA IZH-43. 12 Gauge coach gun, hammerless, with a single, selectable trigger, and choke tubes. It was very compact. However, it kicked very badly when, and only when, fired from the shoulder. That's with light field loads (remington 1 1/8 oz. #6). If you shoot from the hip or hold the gun outstreched with one hand, it didn't kick nearly as bad. Dissatisfied, I sold it. I prefer pumps, because its what I learned to shoot. I love the sound of a mossberg's slide being racked back in forth. I do have a Remington 870 Express 12 Gauge w/ 18.5" barrel, and do not want another one. Good gun, but one is enough for me. I want something more specialized. Why do some people have such low opinions about the Mossberg? I own a 500 Pursuader, and it has never failed me. I just want a little more options, that's why I started this thread, with the potential choices.
