That’s a real surprise that the wrist of the hammer gun is so much smaller all around.

I’ve only had my hand around a few but seems to me every hammerless I handled in an 8 Parker was a good bit thicker in the wrist . You’re going to be at Hausemann’s and or Koneski’s I assume I’ll bring both them to both places you can see for yourself in person . I suspect CL will be there with atleast one of his hammerless guns and I think Jimmy’s planning on bringing one . So there should be others to yeah or nay whether I’m correct in my thinking .

I was able to heft Mike Harris’s Smith hammerless 8 and as well as I can remmember it seemed a lot more “fine” in the wrist than a Parker hammerless 8 . There was a Lefever 8 there as well that day but I wasn’t afforded the opportunity to heft it !

While I havnt seen a Smith or Lefever 8 gauge in person looking at the pictures they look slender or steamlined for their size . If you look at a picture of a hammerless 6 frame you can tell it beefy around the action .
