Easy choice for me. LCSmith 12 gauge, 28" barrels, M&F. I happen to have one, and find myself using it almost to the exclusion of all the others I own, for everything from skeet to bird hunting. Load jockeying makes living with relatively tight chokes do-able for a lot of applications. I wouldn't be bereft if all I had were that one gun.

If I could only have one shotgun, it would probably be a single shot because that would probably mean that we were midway through Obama's second term, repeaters would be banned, and in a couple more years we would likely see those single shots outlawed as well.


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

If I had just one gun, it would probably be a Beretta or Rizzini O/U in 12ga. Versatile enough for every game species and reliable as all get out.

If you have to carry it, Buzz's choice isn't a bad one. However, a side by side would have a bit more character.

Except that I agree with your earlier post. If it really, truly, honestly can't be but one gun, it'd have to be a 12 for me. I'd have to have the capability to use everything from 3/4 oz. loads to 1 3/8 oz., and 3/4 oz. in a 12 makes a lot more sense than 1 3/8 oz. in a 20.

I peeked into the safe and it doesn't appear that I'm adaptable to the single-gun concept. but the question was...

I've always lusted after a McKay-Brown sxs, 28" or 30" bbls (I'm not picky at this point and this gun's free, right?) with 10 and 20 points

Franc/Old Colonel-thanks for the kind comments on the 16 ga. The gun is a Husqvarna 310 Lyx I purchased earlier this year. Per my research one of 10 made, this one in 1924. It has a diamond shaped wrist, straight grip, and the checkering appears to be 32 LPI.
