To be contrarian to my learned senior members, I always prefer a 1 1/2 frame for a 12 walking in the field. Now a duckblind or truck bed letting dove come to me...a 3 frame and a short days work...even shorter with the longer 10 ga barrels. I am not aware of the existence of an effective gauge below 12 so I will not sully myself with such discussions

Mills, that was supposed to be a secret about the 1 frame.

Among the most interesting and coveted frame sizes are the high grade 28 gauges made on the 000 .410 frame. They were owned by a PGCA member who has passed away. I don't know where they are now. They are genuine 000 frames. I have measured the firing pin separation on both guns.

They were displayed at the PGCA Annual Show at the OGCA several years ago. My neighbor and PGCA member Terry Boose displayed them on his table. They are the real deal.
