Both videos make good viewing. Thank you John and Pete for posting.

I can’t argue with the man when he says that there are many “micro-barriers” that dissuade new shooters from familiarizing themselves with side by sides, causing a continued decline in the use and popularity of such guns. Well, it wouldn’t be the first time some of us just went against the grain.

He does allow that there will be some hold-outs in the inevitable consolidation of over/under and semi-auto hegemony when he says, “It takes a real gentleman to [say] I’m going to keep tradition alive”.

This, combined with complaints I have noted coming from the British Isles, that too many of their good guns are going over to American ownership, seems to put us is a curious position: that to maintain the vintage gun ethos, is it now the commission for we Colonials to not “let down the side”.
