This DHE was apparently manufactured in 1903. It is a 12 gauge with 30 inch barrels. 7.6 pounds. I don't have a research letter yet.

Theoretically, a straight grip gun is a better choice in the field, when coupled with double triggers. Easier to make quick trigger choices, is what we were told by the old timers.
Pistol grip guns, on the other hand, are supposed to be better suited for target shooting. I have had plenty of both, and think the lines have been blurred. There are certainly plenty of purpose built target guns, with straight grips, single triggers, and no safeties. The one thing I know for sure is, the prices go up with straight grips. |

I have a BHE Damascus barreled live bird gun and it's a straight grip.

I have 1 straight grip and it doesn't appeal to me as much as my pgs. Now a half pistol grip is a completely different story.

I have bought guns simply because they were straight grips
 There must be something behind the logic of a straight grip as most English guns are configured that way.

60% of my Parkers are straight grip. I hope to keep the percentages that way if not higher for straight grips.

The majority of my Parkers are small bore straight grip as well and all the English guns are straight grip.
In Parkers I believe the skeet guns are in a minority with straight grips BUT I have a 16 and a 20 that are straight.
