Back to the original post and question. The early double trigger, splinter forend Model 21 is the best of all Model 21 configurations in handling qualities, owing most of that to the weight and the Woodward style prince of wales pistol grip. I have had them all, but prefer the pre war POW style gun above any other for most of my shooting. I have owned a 20 gauge 28" gun in that style that weighed just about six pounds. I have been trying to buy it back for many years, unsuccessfully.
