I started out shooting SxSs and have never looked back. The only diversion from this was after a developed a rotator cuff problem and was shooting a lot of skeet so I switched over to a Remington 1100. Additionally I had this gun set up as a convertible for slug deer hunting which was the only permissible firearm other than muzzleloaders in Illinois where I lived at the time.
As far as numbers go; I have far more SxSs then I could wear out in my lifetime. I hope to eventually pass these on to my grandchildren.
To get back to the original question: I don't see great numbers of SxSs either in use or for sale here. There have been times when I've shot trap or skeet, which is only on occasion anymore, where I had the only SxS in the rack.
Ironically William Larkin Moore is located here but I have no idea if they have a very active local clientele.
