I had an old 870 Wingmaster I passed to my son, and a M12 that moved on to a friend. Both 12ga, both equally slick and both in 12ga.

Currently I favor the 20ga and spend time with a Browning M12. It isn't nearly as slick as either of the previously mentioned two but is a pleasure in the field. Probably needs a lot more shells run through it, perhaps it would then catch up to them.

There is no accounting for taste.

Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.

Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however,
Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.
