The 28 gauge is for relief of boredom. A 20 ga. with 3/4 Oz. loads neutralizes any need for a 28 ga. Yes, it's a hair smaller across the breech face, and yes, the shells are a wee bit smaller in the pocket. Nothing really worth much. There are some really slim and trim 20 gauge guns that will match a 28 gauge's handling qualities. Otherwise, it's just a boutique gauge with guns to match. It serves no other practical purpose. But since when does practicality matter to anyone who wants a 28 gauge?

My 20 gauge Darne V19 actually weighed less than my 28 gauge V19. Seems like the wall thickness is thicker on the 28.
Wasn’t it ChuckH who said that once you drive past a Kentucky Fried Chicken any notion of practicality in this entire endeavor is out the window?
I haven’t hunted the 28 I own, just took it out and missed a few clay birds with it.
Demanding little mistress.
