Never use any more force than is necessary...

Yeah, the 12 guage is fine if you need that *much* force...

And I own a nice 12 guage pump but...

... fir the needs I have here on my farm my 22/410 over/under is all that most situations require...

Plus, it's light... It's accurate... And extra ammo fits under a flip-up plate in the stock...

Tell ya what... I can kill a deer with it or a pesky groundhog...
