I think the S&W in 28", double trigger is a great gun at $1100 on the present market. Every once in a while one shows up. New offerings at retail are only for someone who doesn't own a shotgun yet. I hunt over and live with a seven year old female Wirehair. The Wirehair is the most underrated general purpose house and hunting dog out there. After living with setters,red and white, one great English Pointer, my wife's wonderful Springers, and my "Ugly Dog", Eva, I will never have any other dog other than the Wirehair, popularly known as "The Ugly Dog". I have seen Mr. Burns' dog before and look forward to more pictures of his dog and his guns. By the way, my bird dog ownership now covers 64 years.
