Thank you Dean, I think I am going to go with your suggestion and use low pressure shells. I think it will be easier on the gun as well as the shoulder. I think I am more concerned with the gun.

I have always wondered why the Trojan was not built 100% as a straight grip. It seems to me that there would be less work involved in making a straight grip vs. pistol and if so a logical way to further reduce production cost on the economy grade gun.

It may take a little time to post pictures of my VH. I am having the ejectors serviced. Once I get it back I will take some photos. Thanks for all your import.

What a beautiful piece of wood! Great looking gun. Yes, it looks like that. Mine has a recoil pad on it. Right now I am having the ejectors serviced and a new recoil put on. The one it has is in rough shape. Looks like it has been on there since the gun was made. Did you purchase this gun restored or did you have it done?

William,

Recently purchased at a auction in Detroit. The gun was refinished by Delgreco. I hope to shoot the snot out of it and tone down the case colors.

Bill

Very simular but not that high of condition. I too hope to give mine a workout.
