Rounded or squared receiver?

[Joe]

I know as a bunch of hunters and shooters that we have a bunch of different opinions. What is everyone's preference on a semi-auto's receiver shape?

Thanks!

Rounded is the most popular in the USA. When your wingshooting your following the object and it won't obstruct your view.

On the other hand, the squared off receiver gives you a longer sighting radius which can increase the speed of target aquisition.

Have always shot rounded receivers but just purchased a Beretta 390 so I will see if I like the SEMI- HUMP!!
