The Model 12 12gauges made their reputation on the trap field and in the duck blinds because they are on the heavy side. In addition to being able to take a beating and come out working. The smaller gauges on the skeet fields, when pumps were still being used regularly. The 20 and 16 Gauges still make great field guns, although most today can't work a pump, since they were weaned on autos.
