OK. I had three Smith guns. Two I didn’t shoot very well no matter what I did. The third was a two barrel set Specialty grade 12g. I did OK with it but it had the Hunter One trigger. I figured I’d move that gun before it had trigger issues as repairing a Hunter One takes a Swiss watchmaker.
I didn’t like the “feel” of the Smiths either. Parkers and Lefevers both fit me well and have that feel that put me on birds and turn targets into diesel smoke.
Another plus for Parker and Lefevers is most double-gunsmiths will work on them. Certain repairs I can do too. I know gunsmiths that will not touch an LCS gun for love or money.
I have good friends that shoot Smiths as well as other American made doubles. Their choice. As long as they’re shooting is what matters.
