That's as much a best gun as anything coming out of London and I seriously doubt I'll ever own one.

While the concept of a best gun originated in London, that doesn't mean there weren't other makers in Great Britain or Europe and later in the U.S. capable of producing guns of comparable quality.

I just happened to end up liking the British hammer guns, which is good since I can't afford the better quality boxlocks, sidelocks and round actions.

I have become addicted to English hammered shotguns to the detriment of my wallet.
