Default Took thirty years !

Thirty five years ago I bought a VH 16 gauge with 30” barrels and a straight grip . In a weak moment I traded it for something . For the last three or four years I’d been watching for another VH 16 30” with a straight grip . Never saw what I wanted but recently ran across a circa 1901 VH 16 gauge 1 frame 30” PG so I bought it .

Gun has a short length of pull but a Kick Eez and a spacer will fix that .

My 1 frame VH 16 was my first Parker, back in 1988. Still shooting it. Hold on to that one Craig.

I’ve got the perfect VH 16 gauge trio ! 0 frame with 26” IC/M , 1 frame with 28” M&F and finally this 1 frame 30” F&F . Perhaps down the road a 1 or 2 frame with 32” IM/ F barrels !!!!

Maybe that straight grip will resurface.
