Steel Shot Special

I realize it's a chocolate vs. vanilla thing, but what is it about a 28 with DT's, PG and a beavertail forend that some find appealing?

Greg, I've had 28 ga. Parker Repros with straight grip/splinter forend, and with PG/BT forend. I found the latter configuration way easier to swing smoothly. For me, the straight grip/splinter forend in a 28 ga. Repro is too muzzle light and whippy for a consistently good swing and follow through. As far as double triggers go, all my guns with 2 barrels have 2 triggers !

How's your brother enjoying the 20 gauge I sold him?

All valid points Joe.

Regarding my brother . . . I guess he enjoys looking at it. About a week after buying your gun he bought another as new identically configured 20-ga. Repro, (26" bbls., IC/M, DT, SG, SPL) and to my knowledge hasn't shot either. Although I don't remember it, he must have been dropped as a baby.
