Yikes, like a skinny-skinny version of Mutt and Jeff.

OMG!! That makes our 32-inch 20-gauges just pikers. Mine does weigh more being on a 2-frame.

My #2 frame 20s have been well over 8 pounds. Randy's gun should handle much better than mine.

A 2 frame 20 is one that I have not managed to come across. I would love to hear about the wall thickness measurements on one of those, surely beastly.

A 26-inch NID 20-gauge would look good in my gunroom. My 12-, 16- & 28-gauges and .410-bore are all 26-inch with this 30-inch 20-gauge standing in the middle of them.

Dave that added barrel would just clutter your gun room up and drive you crazy.
