Default Thoughts on model 21 16ga?

Always wanted a model 21 16ga just wondering if any other members have had experience with them and what they think about them.

I'm very pleased with my 1941 vintage 16-gauge Model 21 Skeet Gun --

That’s a beauty, I held up an earlier made splinter forend 16ga at the southern and can’t get it off my mind. They feel like they’re just the right weight for a 16ga sxs.

I also have been looking at an earlier model double trigger Win 21 in 16 gauge. Just got rid of the last of my 16's I had figuring I was done with that gauge. Up popped this one, and now I'm on the fence. I don't have a problem,I can quit anytime..

A 16ga/28"/straight stock/single trigger/ M21 has been my go to grouse gun for the last couple of years.
I don't see a change coming anytime soon.

Many years ago I had a 20-gauge, 26-inch, double triggers, ejectors and beavertail that weighed a shade over 7 pounds. I didn't shoot it well and it moved on. The 16-gauge Skeet Gun above weighs 6 pounds 12-ounces and I was into my fourth skeet round before I missed a target!

Look for your 16 in the G&D catalog.

We had a 21 16 gauge skeet gun in the shop for a cleaning and going over . The gun was ST , PG and 28” . I tried my best to buy it from the owner but he wouldn’t consider it , that gun felt really good in the hands .
