An example is the 1/2 frame. They are finished up at weights from 6 1/4 pounds to 8 1/4 pounds.

With #3 seeing to be the most popular frame used for 10s does anyone know what the heaviest #3 that was ordered?

10 bore is my favorite but I have always wanted a 10lb 16ga haha .

A fellow on here that lives in SC/GA has a 32” EH on. 3 frame I think it’s as heavy or heavier then my EH 34” 3 frame . I had tried to buy the gun he has before he got it and finally saw it at the 2018 Southern . That guns a right smart horse I’d say over 10 pounds .

I've had two 10 hammer guns both 32" one a 9lb and one a 10lb . You could definitely feel the weight in the 10lb guns barrels . With RST loads though I couldn't tell a recoil difference between the two . Wish I could have remember that hammerless 10 ga parkers that was sold locally it had 36" barrels !
