I use my T5 mainly for shooting nowadays, but as a kid I used to use it as my fall-back plane as it handles both smoothing and jointing very nicely too. They have a nice balance and heft to them.

Hello,

Yes, I use a T 5 as a dedicated shooting plane. Mine was sans the side handle when I got it, but I turned one up more like a front knob, which I think works better than the original handle. TBH, there is no real issue with the plane being a regular pitch plane for shooting. A miter plane with a Bevel up blade has the same EP, so the plane always functioned well in this roll.
