Mr. Romig: Different horses for different courses here.

The Lang, a converted pinfire, has no choke (made before chokes were invented), weighs 6 1/4 lbs and is very light and lively, making it excellent to carry for ruffies & the like. The later Parker is about a pound heavier (& with lots of choke) which means it should be more suited for prairie birds.

Both strike me as beautiful examples of engineering from another time.
