I had a 1-frame 16 gauge Trojan with 26” barrels that now belongs to my brother-in-law that is every bit as light and well balanced as any of my 0-frame 16’s and I have a bunch of them - some not as light as I would hope for in a 0-frame.

There is a cult following or so it seem for 0 frame 16's. I have both in hammer guns and hammer less and the weight varies by gun, some 0 frames are lighter than the 1 frame some aren't.
I just like 16's regardless of the frame size

The 0 frame is more svelte than the 1 frame. I need to get a scale for my guns and weigh them. The 0 frame 16 seemed a tad heavy while quail hunting, but it still did well
The new 28 gauge handles like a dream |

I'd be curious as to the actual differences in size between the two frames. I don't know how much the frame size matters to the actual overall weight of the gun as there are to many other variables.
What new 28????. They are a dream aren't they. Configuration and barrel length???

You should try one while hunting all day in the grouse tangles... even my 00-frame VHE 28 seems a bit cumbersome, but it’s better than any of my 16’s. .

If I were looking for a fast handling 16 for upland birds I'd pay more attention to overall gun weight than frame size.
