I have a 4 frame E with 30" barrels and over 10 pounds that handles surprisingly well. Another 4 frame E with 32" barrels handles like a railroad rail. Barrel length makes a big difference if you ask me

My NH 6 frame 10 ga seems to handle pretty good at 12 3/4" it balances between the hands even with the barrels marked 8lbs 4oz. They do have alot of taper to them though because while they are built on a 6 frame they taper down to the muzzle about the same as what my 3 frame 10 ga is.

My heaviest is a one frame 20 with 32” barrels. The beast weighs about 7 1-2 pounds I think!

I finally got my hands on a 32” 20 that the Southern Indiana Shotgun Cartel hadn’t gobbled up

Default 10 Gauge Sickness

I don't know what you guys are all in a fuss about

I've been thinking of joining like a 10 gauge support groups, like the AA 12 step program, these 10's are starting to become addictive

Thanks. I got a good chuckle out of that one Craig. Not to correct you but the Indiana Gun Cartel is actually up north. Word has it they're dug in like ticks somewhere up around Valpo, just saying.

You can balance it on your fingers, Parker Bros knew who to make a heavy gun that you that carried pretty well I think. Though I am curious how the 16lb guns feel compared to my 12 3/4lb one. Oh I just remember I do have a 16lb 10 ga haha forgot about that one but its not a Parker.
