Because I find a lot of guns in the old records with great dimensions, and I find a lot of guns in the currant marketplace with extreme drops, I have a theory that a lot of those old guns with over 3 inch drop at heel kicked folks in the face so hard that they didn't get shot as much as the guns with less drop and hence more of them survive for us today. I have two high condition old hammer guns, a Parry and an Ithaca, and they both have drops in the 3 3/8 to 3 1/2 range. Of course then there is my own family situation where my Father's AE-Grade Remington Model 1894 wore a lace-on Monte Carlo for fifty years and got shot a lot.
