Being continually used and lasting over time IS ENDURANCE! And seeing that the gun has been around for nearly a hundred and fifty years, 500 to a 1000 shots a day in a Perazzi is just pure speculation on that guns longevity, it has not even done the first century yet. While the Purdy has overcome the Brit. weather, rust, abuse, misuse, and been fed more cartridges than I could even begin to imagine. NO PROOF NO CONTEST!!!!!!!!!!! My money is on the Purdey being used for another hundred years and Kim Rhodes Perazzi all I will say I believe the guns will never meet in the future lets just say seventy five years from now.

The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!
