If a London sidelock was a viable gun compete on the world competion circuit it'd be there, IMO.
Chuck it is, because Pinky La Grelle uses a Holland & Holland for Olympic skeet.
Because she can afford to.
I shoot for Holland & Holland (the gun-makers) and I am the only one with an English gun on the international circuit, she said. They have never done a competitive gun before and it is like taking part in a banger race with a Bentley.
I feel very proud of it. It feels gorgeous. I came across the chairman one day and tapped him on the shoulder and said, Can you do something for me, my gun is clapped out. I asked him if they would be prepared to make me one and he said they would. It is pure image. It feels gorgeous. I do not say I am going to shoot better because I have one, but at least when I miss, I miss in style.
I don't think an H&H has achieved the acme of target gun accomplishments. There's a lot of makes in competition.
