I think the 16 is just right.
I’m lucky the first Parker I fired was a 16.
There are no 16 Ga repros? Correct?
Is there a sxs 16 modern gun?
The cost of 16 Ga shells and abcence of light loads is pushing me to reloading.
Yes, Clark, there are modern 16 side-by-sides. Two to consider are the CSMC FOX, and AyAs. I have both and can vouch for both. I’m pretty sure the Turkish guns come in 16s. No doubt someone will chime in for more options.
