Stan and I had a nice "sit-down" over his gun and my MOI machine. He brought a Yildiz .410 SXS. The comparison of the handling numbers of the Yildiz and other very light weight guns is shown below.


Note that the Yildiz has swing effort numbers much more like a 6# to 6 1/2# gun (typical Brit game weight gun) than like a sub-five pounder. Note that the HWR (the measure of compactness) is much higher, indicating a higher proportion of weight away from the center (action area). The barrels and stock have more of the weight than is typical for this weight of guns. This agrees with Stan's ability to shoot this gun well. Few people can handle well the light weight and low swing efforts such light guns usually exhibit.

Questions?
