I'm sure I'm in the minority but I have never had any interest in gauge reducing adapters of any ilk. I want the weight and handling characteristics of my guns to match the gauge and use. If I want to shoot 12 gauge shells I'll use a 12 gauge gun. If I were to ever desire an 8 gauge gun it would be to utilize 8 ga. loads.

For me it's the equivalent of using a 270 HP John Deere 8270R to run an 8 ft. Bush Hog mower. I just can't make sense of it.


May God bless America and those who defend her.
