I grew up shooting a M11 20 ga. at doves and quail for several years. I was about age 11 when I got it and shot it until I was 16. I killed innumerable doves with that gun. Though I never shot a A5 at a bird in my life, that I can recall, I have handled many of them.

I don't recall ever noticing any difference in how the M11 handled vs the A5. Are y'all saying one handles well and the other not? That's hard for me to imagine.
