Apologies for the poor quality of the picture. This is my 'little' 0 frame BHE. The dogs and birds are just one of the many things I love about this gun. All the grade 5 guns I've owned in the past, except for one, were 1 or 1 1/2 frame guns, and all had Craig T's favorite trigger plate subject. The one other 0 frame gun was my dad's 20Ga BHE that had 28" Acme steel barrels, and I must be honest; I do not remember much about it, apart from the straight stock. That is the gun I remind my daughter that I sold, when she announced she was staying on, after graduation, for her master's degree. insert big sigh here.

Well, I've made my share of less-than-well thought out purchases. Some I eventually grew to like and others had to pack their bags. The only remaining one still awaiting the return of the jury, is perhaps one of my most expensive purchases (there is probably a connection between price and regret). I keep telling myself that if I spend more time shooting it, eventually I will learn to like it more.
