Nothing against the Utica guns, but the Fox Philly guns are just plain sexy to hold and shoot.... I have 16ga SW from 1927 and there is just something about that gun that is hard to describe, compared to my NID from 1926, or the chunky Nitro from 1947. (I still like the NID and Nitro though)

The utica guns, just feel a little bit less "sleek" than the Philly guns..... Doesn't mean I would pass on one if I ran across a great condition gun at the right price.... But, prefer the Philly guns..
