10 Gauge, A View from the Past

[Joe Graziano]

I love the Model 32 platform. I’ve had a 3200, K80 and K32. I currently use a K32 for trap, skeet and clays. I shoot a 32 in skeet gun but the gun fits me so well, it just works for me. I would love a Model 21. To me, they are just beautiful and rock solid. My dad’s dream gun has always been a Model 21 in 16 ga. My goal is to get him one next year for his 80th birthday.

That’s great ! My pop turned 83 in December only things I ever heard him speak a whole lot about were a Ruger #1B in 243 WIN so I got him one for Christmas about 12 years ago and a Parker VHE 20 gauge . We took care of the Parker about five years ago . I think he’d like an honest Richmond musket , but the prices they get for those and as easy as it is to get taken I think we’ll pass on that one ! The sad part is my pops got Parkinson’s and not fired a gunnin fifteen years . He just likes having them and looking from time to time . I took his 243 worked up a couple loads and killed a couple deer . The VHE we both actually wanted that so after the joint effort of acquiring it I take it out and excercise it every so often on skeet or dove or pheasents .
