An example is the 1/2 frame. They are finished up at weights from 6 1/4 pounds to 8 1/4 pounds.

With #3 seeing to be the most popular frame used for 10s does anyone know what the heaviest #3 that was ordered?

10 bore is my favorite but I have always wanted a 10lb 16ga haha .

Call and ask them. I’m sure they’ll accommodate you

I have a CH 10/26 on a 2 frame. Cyl choke and original. I posted photos here before and have taken it pheasant hunting in SoDak. It’s still not lightweight at just under 8 lbs.

The cost of a PGCA annual membership is $40, less than a tank of gas.

Can't answer your question but I have a #3 frame 10ga that letters at 10lbs, 10oz.

My #3 frame 28 inch 16 is well into the nines, but not quite ten pounds.

I’ve got the EH 2 frame 28” factory that’s cyl and lite mod . That things nice on the skeet field . I hope some day to run up on one of the factory EH 26” I’m sure they’ve gotta be on a 2 frame and most likely open as well , to say nothing of one of the very few EH factory 24” .

A fellow on here that lives in SC/GA has a 32” EH on. 3 frame I think it’s as heavy or heavier then my EH 34” 3 frame . I had tried to buy the gun he has before he got it and finally saw it at the 2018 Southern . That guns a right smart horse I’d say over 10 pounds .

I've had two 10 hammer guns both 32" one a 9lb and one a 10lb . You could definitely feel the weight in the 10lb guns barrels . With RST loads though I couldn't tell a recoil difference between the two . Wish I could have remember that hammerless 10 ga parkers that was sold locally it had 36" barrels !

I'm in prime quail country , south georgia if you Google pine hill plantation that's what the land looks like here . 16 gauge ammo is not scarce here . I used to have a 1957' Ithaca 37 featherweight before they added the trigger disconnect . To me that thing rocked me harder than my 10 gauge magnums .
