You guys don't know what your missing, a 2 frame 10ga with 1oz loads and 28" barrels open chokes is a fine upland gun. Craig is just ahead of the times.

That could very well be but I couldn't imagine lugging that gun around all day.

I used that 10 gauge 26” hammer gun also on a 2 frame last fall and after the usual morning walk of 2.5-3 hours I’d had enough of carrying that thing .

There were many grouse killed with a 10. I have no clue about a "grouse walk."

1 1/8 oz. of shot is 1 1/8 oz of shot -- through a 12 or a 10...and the shot column would be shorter in the 10.

I like the idea of a 2 frame 10. Good shooting, Craig!

Seems to me I have four 10’s on two frames . The pair of EH 28” , the Grade 1 two barrel set 26/30 and an 1889 EH 30” .
