I kinda agree with you as they intrest me more now that I have a 10 . Have a couple 12's we've had for maybe 35 years that never really turned me on but the 10 gauge thing is different

My stock guy is a good fellow and a regular shooter . He does a fair amount of Sporting Clays now with a hammer Parker . But in the past he was a Fox guy . And he keeps telling me Smith's break alot !

I'm not trying to start an argument as I have Smith's . Parker's and Fox's . You sound as if you've had a fair amount of shooting with Smith's , have you found them to break more then the other two ?

I dare say the pair of Smith 12's I have , have never broken but I never shot them alot . This 10 gauge did break the left barrel firing pin after I had frired the gun exactly 31 times . It however looked to be a NOT factory pin .
