I am late to the conversation on this one! Steve, as you have read in the replies it's time for you to get a hammer gun...
I enjoy the history, quality and craftmanship that comes from a nice hammer gun. The Parker Lifter was such a great and ergonomically thought out design that I recommend you start there.
Shooting a hammer gun is just fun. Whether a double on clays or taking these treasures out in the field, these guns are just too much fun. I feel I shoot a hammer gun just as well as any other type of shotgun.
Once you get one, I will talk to you about shooting all brass black powder shells. like these guns would have shot when new.
Let us know when you get one
