My first SxS was a 12 ga. 00 Grade L.C. Smith that I bought at a local gun auction shortly after college. I got a late start because my Dad, Uncles, and cousins were never double barrel shotgun guys. That first one was soon followed by a 12 ga. L.C. Smith FW Field Grade... then another double... and another... and another... and another... and so on and so forth... no regrets... except that I became so focused upon doubles that I began wondering how many great deals I missed on rifles and handguns at gun shows.

I'm waiting for the oft predicted drop in SxS prices so I can buy even more. Guess what? It ain't happening.


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
