Very few from my observation. I own a CHE 12/32 and a DHE 12/30. Good luck in your search.

I also got a p grade with 32 inch barrels these 3 frames are good water fowl guns...they are really to heavy for a squirl gun but they will get the job done...mine weighs 9 1/4 lbs barrels weigh 5 lbs -10 ounces....charlie

Charlie I though you used the 8 ga for squirrels haha .

I recall seeing a #3 frame 12 ga for sale once and I believe a member has a 12 ga on a #6 frame .

I have a DH 12 gauge #3 frame with 2 sets of Damascus barrels, 28" and 30" that letter to the gun. I spied the gun in line at a gun show. I had no money so I gave up a Smith and Wesson 38-44 in pretty nice condition in an even trade. I think 12 gauge #3 frame hammer guns are much scarcer than hammerless guns in #3 frame.

I have seen, handled, worked on enough to say they are not super rare by any means. They are out there.
