I shoot two. One is a 6 lb hammer Tisdale in 12 gauge with 32” barrel. The other is a 4 1/2 lb hammer Graham 16 gauge, both damascus. Both are fun to carry and have shot a lot of quail but I always have to get used to their lack of any momentum. I love them! But then you have to understand I’m a flintlock shooter so a single shot cartridge gun is a quantum leap into the future.
