A Steel Shot Special has about twice the wood in the wrist as a 20 gauge Repro. That might explain why we don't hear much about SSS wrist breakage.

A straight grip Steel Shot Special is no different than other 12-ga. 1 1/2-frame straight gripped Repros, they have a 4 1/4" circumference at the wrist. A 20-ga. 0-frame straight grip Repro has a 4 1/8" circumference.

So, effectively, they’re the same size as far as strength goes...
