Make Mine a Double! Why Editor Prefers Two Barrels

By Dave Workman
Editor-in-Chief
My affection for double-barrel shotguns goes way back to my youth, and the first firearm I ever bought at retail was a slightly-used side-by-side Beretta 12-gauge Silver Hawk that fit me like the proverbial glove...

When I got home someone grabbed a duffel bag and the strap hung up on the barrel and the barrel slide out with the bag and fell on the ground. The locking mechanism bent and broke off. I threw it right in the trash, I was so disgusted. Didn't even want to look at it ever again! :chuckle:

They're great! Wish I'd have discovered them 35 years sooner.
So, did you read my tome to the double barrel shotgun?
