I must be turning into a "pussy" when I was younger my favorite gun for waterfowl was my 10 lb double 10 Ga. Actually I have two of them, one with 22" barrels (long story) and one with 32" barrels, I used to jump shoot the local field in the river bottoms, so it got packed all day, the only time I got hurt by one of them, I was shooting some heavy BPI loads and it double fired on me, my arm went numb and I almost dropped the gun.

Now that I'm a little older I find it so pleasant to carry my 6# double 20 Ga.
