I appreciate all advice and should say that what I was really asking, I suppose, is if the Thalmann was a sturdily built gun as SxSs go. It will not be the only gun I will be using as my shooting is for fun not score and I am using my own thrower and shooting with friends so it will be relaxed.

Just for my edification, what SxS would be recommended for target games? Win 21 or some pigeon gun perhaps?

I do appreciate the replies.
