Considering this for competition and just wondering if anyone has a Youth model or an LT-20. 20 gauge is the minimum required. I'm currently using a 12 guage pump.
20 Gauge semiauto would be:
Quick handling with the light weight (6.5 lbs) shortened stock and 21" barrel
Light recoil = faster split and transition shots
Low(er) cost...add an extension and EZloader and it should be good to go.
On the negative side:
Would have to run a tighter choke than a 12 so you have to "aim" more.
Ammo isn't as readily available, slugs are hard to come by.
Do you think the speed of the 20 would be enough to overcome the wider shot pattern of the 12? It would be an interesting project. My nephew has one and I was able to shoot it scarily fast and accurate playing around.
