Lloyd,
You seem well aware of the fact that a hammer gun won’t make Grouse hunting any easier. Is this something for the local pet and shoot, or, is this to be your “go-to” gun in the fall?

I think of hammer guns about the same way I think of a an old MG TC model. Elegant as hell, but not something you would rely on for your daily transportation needs. It would be great if someone had a TC (or, a Shelby Cobra, the one with the 289 and the 8 Weber carbs) that they would loan me on a sunny afternoon, so I could get that nonsense out of my system. Having any of the above around, full time, would be cool, but, might be a pain in the ass, especially the part about watching a Grouse fly away as you muff the cocking of the hammers, one more time.

Ponder this a bit more. Me, I don’t need any more guns, I need time enough to make use of the ones I’ve got.

Best,
Ted
