A straight grip has always been my preference but in a Repro a straight grip will usually mean higher DAC and DAH.
There certainly were fewer made with straight grips but there are also fewer people who want one. But I will say if there were two 28 gauge Repros side by side and everything was equal with the exception that one was a pistol grip and one was straight but the straight grip was $300 more I’d still buy the straight grip.
