Oh boy you guys aren't helping my cause here. I'll be lucky to get out of Sanford financially intact at this point. I told a new member here I was willing to part with my 32" VH with straight grip then I made the mistake of picking her up again...and I couldn't pull the trigger. I had to apologize for backing out. I think I'd have an easier time selling one of my kidneys.

Let me know what you're looking for...
How about a 32" 28ga VH on a OO frame, straight grip and checkered butt?

Why limit yourself to just 32”??

Because anything longer than that is unweildy in my opinion.

My reasoning is much more simple Daryl. I refuse to shoot a gun taller than I am.

Understood Andy. Just like I refuse to date a woman who weighs more than me. A man's got to know his limitations.

I am open to being enabled myself!

I thought I hit the jackpot when I got my 32" 20ga. DHE pistol grip

I have come to the conclusion that there just isn't anything better than a straight gripped long barreled sxs

Daryl is this the one you brought last year or something new? I believe the one you let me shoot last year "only" had 30" barrels. You're living well my friend!

IMO a small bore (20 or 28) long barreled, graded Parker with a straight grip and splinter forend is the penultimate gun for either clays or live birds. Perfection in other words.

The one I brought last year was the 30" one. The 32" gun is on my wish list. I'll have to make do with the 30" one for now.
