Maybe with RST paper hulls, George- but the AA plastic hulls I like in my Winchester "money guns" are as hard as Hillary's heart on 2nd. Amendment rights..

Not trying to offend any one. Hunted pheasant on my preserve last Saturday and did not carry my Elsie hammer gun open. Some days seems like everyone does hunt grouse Michigan!!

My first shotgun was a single shot hammer gun. I became adept at cocking of the flush. I haven't hunted with my Husky yet, but I have shot clays off my Trius one step, and cocking both hammers and breaking the birds about the same distance as the hammerless guns. Also shot the grouse walk at last years Great Northern with the hammers cocked and broken open. Scored better than most of the rest of the squad with hammerless guns with the safety on. Practice gun handling so you just react.

Good idea, George. The best model going now-a-days is Hillary, but she seems a tad occupied at the nonce. I also visited the Woodcock Hill web site- impressive- fotos and details such as my friend Kirby Hoyt has on his-and that's quite telling. Think I'll start looking for a 12 bore hammer gun with nitro barrels, with dims and fit like m friend's T. Bland- which will most likely NOT be for sale. I know if I owned it, it would be a "keeper".

RWTF; May I recommend you call our friend Kirby. I'm sure he could fix you up with a suitable nitro proofed English hammer gun in short order.

Yes indeed. I went to his website, and he doesn't have any T. Bland hammer guns with nitro proof barrels for sale- now. I bought a 12 gauge LC Smith Field FWE with HOT from him about 16 months ago-he test fired it while we were on the phone, and I still have it-- Kirby is the only gun dealer I trust sight unseen- albeit his excellent photos and accurate descriptions and fair market prices. He also gives us Vets free shipping, how many other dealers do that today.??
