I have been intrigud by the two inch 12 and I'm NOT a 12ga person. Jay Schacter of Vintage Firearms has a very nice Turner (I believe) 2 inch for sale. While It's interesting it's not interesting enough to me to shell out the cash for it. IF I was to ever buy one my next purchase would be to RST for about 4 cases of shells. I load all 2.5 inch shells for 12,16, 20 & 410 but wouldn't want to get set up for 2 inchers.
I'm a big fan of the 16 and have way more than I can use in a season. Being primarily a Grouse hunter I like the shorter barrels and open chokes of a skeet gun. Going into bird season I bought a Parker DH 16 on an 0 frame with 26 inch Damascuss bbls and with 7/8oz of shot have taken Grouse, Woodcock and Pheasants with it.
At the end of the day I doubt any upland bird could tell the difference of being shot by either the 2 inch 12 or a 16 with 2 1/2 inch shells all else being equal,.......however I'm still intrigued by the short 12.
