Rich is right about skeet guns being a bit scarce in full capped pistol grip. Has anyone seen a .410 or 28 gauge skeet with capped pistol grip?

Yes, John Dunkle has a wonderful VHE .410 Skeet gun woth capped pistol grip and a BTFE.
It is a sweet handling gun - I’ve shot it .

I believe Eric's 28 skeet is a full pistol grip.

I prefer the straight grips myself as well. I only have one Parker that isn't a straight grip, a 20 bore with a half or round knob stock. I have had thoughts of trading it for a straight grip gun.

The Robert Stack BHE 28-gauge --

and DHE .410-bore --

both had capped full pistol grips.

In the Parker Bros. hammer gun era the pistol grip was a $5 premium over the straight grip.
