You were deciding to go with VH or DH in an earlier thread. Get the nicest 10 you can afford and don't look back. They are a fun gun to shoot and more versatile than you think if you reload your own shells. |

I did not buy it and I believe the KTP still has the gun. They want $1095 for it which I take is a little bit high for what it is. However it is an "honest" and solid Elsie hammer 10 that someone would/will enjoy.

Steven, I am a recent convert to the 10 ga. I happened to get one from another PGCA member, then I found another at a gun show last month.
Last wekend I went on a pheasant hunt with 3 parkers. A VH12, A grade 2 10ga. hammerless and a grade 1 10ga. hammered. The 10s shot better than the 12. better swing and less recoil. I was shooting RST low pressure loads of 1 1/4 oz 7 1/2 shot in all guns. The extra weight takes up a lot of recoil. I am now a convert. I dont have $600.00 in either 10ga. Like the old TV ad said "try it, you'l like it"

I just shot my 12 GH with Polywad one oz 2.5" shells and was surprised how much the gun kicked. It is a #2 frame and it must weight 8 lbs. Not only that, but the full chokes are extremely tight, gun made in 1896. It didn't hurt to shoot the gun, but I thought that those Polywad shells would shoot noticebly softer. Not so, not in the least. |

It will rain in Seattle. Don't miss Pike's Place down by the water. Always fun down there. Crab are in season. The Manhatten Bar/Grill is good. Chocolate martinis/steaks. I don't know of any gun shops in Seattle. Think steaks, crab and gin.

Steve, I was stuck in Seattle for 29 years. Finaly got to move back to gods country. God Bless Texas! There are lots of gun shops in & arround Seattle. You missed seeing the troll under the Freefont bridge ,Bohem's candy shop in Issaquah, Ivars Salmon house on Queen Ann hill and last but not least authentic Indian smoked salmon from Blake IslandYum Yum.
Even with all that, I still hate the rain.
