Really cool guns! Must take a bit of time to get those swinging. I would imagine that the recoil is manageable with the weight being the way it is.

Jason yes it is the heaviest 10ga discovered so far but there is a 40" D 10ga hammer gun that has yet to come to light that may weight more if it was build on a #6 frame. These big Parkers are easier to shoot than you would think as long as you don't need to carry them!! They are big fun to own, shoot and reload for. I would have loved to meet the men that ordered and used these big guns back in the day. The big D went to southern Indiana on the Wabash river and the NH went to Hatchechubbee Alabama near the Chattahoochee river. Before the Army Corps of Engineers "improved" these rivers I believe they were great duck habitat.
