6 fame 10 gauge

[OLD GEEZER]

Craig: That's a beast but I'm right behind you with my Quality 1 hammer 10 ga. that weighs 14 pounds and the barrels 0f 34 inches are 9-7. You have a couple of keepers.Its on a 5 frame Thomas

I’ll ask a really stupid question : why such heavy guns? I get the long barrel part but what loads would be shot in a 6 frame is that could not be shot in a 3 frame? I’ve hefted a 4 frame and it was hard to get moving.
