a 21 doesn't have a weight issue, they (most of'em) have a missing trigger issue. A very open choke in the right barrel of a gun you shoot well is the best Grouse gun. Might add that having it stuffed w/ a correct load (for the bore)of #9's helps. Mike, there are plenty of Ruff's here in PA. My last four days out, starting w/ Thanksgiving and counting today added up to 110 flushes.
