I'd love to have a high-grade Parker .410 or perhaps a CSMC Fox DE Special in .410, but that ain't gonna happen unless I were to win the Powerball and more importantly--get it past the Mrs.! Until the impossible happens, either one of my 28-ga. Parker Reproductions with a set of 28-.410 Chambermates will have to do:



Or---another .410 I picked up late last fall is a Dickinson (not made in America, but sold by an American company) that I'm having a ball shooting targets with and will be carried a bit this fall for Grouse and Woodcock. One could actually make an argument as this being a contender for best value in a gun for the money. Where else can you buy a brand new scaled-frame .410 with a trigger plate action, platform lump barrels, chrome lined bores, Southgate ejectors, bone-charcoal casehardening, engraved, hand checkered, non-automatic safety, Turkish Walnut, etc. for just $1300?

For decades I had lusted for a Parker VHE 410 skeet gun. When one would come up for sale it was out of my reach financially then a friend had a Fox FE by CSM that was near new and half the price point of the Parker. I managed to get the Fox and couldn't be happier with it.
