I’ve had both original 21’s and CSMC 21’s. Since you’re not collecting or investing, the CSMC gun is the absolute better choice! The workmanship is superior, as is the wood and metal. All 21’s are superb shooting guns but the CSMC gun would be a better fit for your specific needs. I’ve taken a 20 bore CSMC 21 to South America numerous times and put thousands of rounds through it with no ill effects. I’m sure my original 21 would have served well too, but I didn’t have to worry about the possible loss of a collectible shotgun during transit.
