Chantry has a valid point. A do it all gun that offers maximum reliability and versatility should do more than just shoot skeet.

I would go for an inboard hammer SXS (I designed one a while ago) with coil springs, and it would have to be ribless so there are no hidden rust traps. The weight saved from the ribs can be used for barrel wall thickness. If only I could get someone to build the design then it could be the one to do it all.

Failing that, a side pedal ribless hammer gunwith steel barrels would suit me fine.
