Of the seven sixteen gauge guns on the 0-frame that I own (5) or have owned (2) all but one was comfortable to carry and to snap to my shoulder when the situation presented itself.

Of the two 1-frame Trojans that I have owned, they both weigh in and handle as nicely as my lighter 0-frames.

The more you see of the Trojans, they may be a great value. I bought a really nice 20 Trojan and did not buy the 16 Trojan that the same old man owned. It was not as nice but I wish now I had bought it too. He owned only the two doubles and mostly shot the 16. Did they ever make a 16 Trojan on anything except the 1 frame?
Interesting, my two 1 frame VH 16's, one is from the Chesapeake area and is choked Imp Mod and Full and the other has open barrels, they look like a 2 and 3 frame 12 when you look at the barrels side by side. The choked gun, which I like to think was ordered for ducks, is much heavier and thicker and a really sweet handling 16.

The standard frame size for the Trojan sixteen was the 1-frame. Special order Trojans are nearly as scarce as hen's teeth. There may have been one or two built on the 0-frame size but I have never heard on one.
