Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder .
With that said. Beauty ? My opinion . I would have to give the nod to the LC's . The side lock guns in my my opinion look classier . Box lock guns really have to Jazz it up to play catch up . There is a reason in my opinion why some manufactures add false side plates to box lock guns.
Better as in durability ? My opinion . I will have to say I will give that to Parker . As mentioned there is a lot going on with the side locks. Finicky . Pressure on the plates and screws. ect. Wood issues .
Better as in handling ? My opinion . That's up to you. I like all types of shotguns. I shoot all types / brands of shotguns so that's part of the fun for me. If I was super serious about shooting scores I would stick to one brand and gauge .
