Any of you guys use a .20 gauage for ducks? If so what gun & shot size do you prefer?

I use a 20 gauage double barrell and it always shoots good.

One of my partners on my duck club shoots nothing but a 20 guage. He shoots 3" 4s. There is also a club just north of Sacramento, a very good duck club, that only allows 20 gauges, NO 12 guage guns at all on that club.

I shoot a Beretta 391 20 gauge. My girlfriend shoots a 390 20gauge. We have shot both ducks and geese with them. We keep our shots inside 40 yards.... no issues.

I like Hevi-shot #4s for geese. Even for decoying geese with the 20 like an Improved Modified choke tube.

For ducks, Kent Fast Steel 3" 7/8oz of #2 or #3 at 1550fps. I like the Light mod choke in my gun, Rebecca shoots an IC.

How do you like the baretta 391 I've been looking @ that & the bennelli.How are the barettas as far as cleaning the gun?Also what is the difference between the 390 & 391?
