The Single-Barrel, Break-Open Shotgun

[Geordie_Rob]

any extra firepower within the group that can be brought to bear is a welcome addition and if your bugging out a 14 year old of slight build is going to be more comfy humping a four and a half pound single than a seven pound double...wouldn't dream of sending someone out to patrol/scavenge with one.

I'm in the process of applying for my SGC now (just waiting on the call to arrange the home visit). My plan is to invest in a couple of single barrel shotguns from the start & then look at a double & possibly a 3 shot pump (funds allowing of course). As a cheap starter & later a back-up gun, I can't see anything wrong with them at all. Of course this is my current opinion as a relatively inexperienced shooter.
