My grouse gun of choice is my 6 1/4 pound J.P.Sauer ten gauge 26" Krupp barrels. It is light, fast handling, and with a boomer in the left barrel, can scratch down a second shot 50 yard bird without any problem. Of course, my grouse chasing days are over. I'm still very fond of this rare little Sauer.

Thanks for correcting me, Brian and Reggie, about the frame sizes Parker made 20s on.

With that correction, what does this mean (copied and pasted directly from the Parker site home page information)? If this is inaccurate should it not be corrected? Possibly they "offered" 20s in all these frame sizes , but that isn't clear to me the way it is stated (taken from TPS). Is the "Parker Story" wrong?

Where did you see the above in TPS? The below is a pic taken of frame sizes on Pg. 527 in Vol. 2 of TPS. This chart varies from the above. In NOTES: lower left see “g”,as there are some exceptions not listed in chart.

Some time back, I initiated a thread where I added some frame sizes that the authors were not aware of. The sizes mentioned in this current thread were a result of that older thread. Good luck finding it, but the "new" chart is in the current thread, this one. Stan's attribution of TPS for the updated chart was in error, his first.
