Or the kick probably. About every single shot I have shot brings tears to my eyes, yes I'm a wuss. My very first shot gun I used to Turkey hunt with was a H&R single shot. 3" turkey load in it would rock you bad. I pattern it shooting several different brands of shells before season and the next day my shoulder was black and blue and my arm had a weird numb feeling and I was kind of out of the mood to kill a turkey. Sure was glad when I could afford my Remington 870 turkey gun I have used now for many years. Even 3.5" shells didn't kick as hard. I don't think I have shot the old H&R since. I do love my H&R Handi 44 mag rifle.

I do love my H&R Handi 44 mag rifle. I have one single shot that shoots wonderfully (and hard) and I shoot it more often than the 870 mainly because it's easier to load and unload and lighter. It's an OLD one. I don't much care for 3 inch shells in anything.

It cant be any worse than that Rossi I bought. I traded for the HR from a friend. He said its never failed to go off. Its even killed 154" buck

I have a friend who for a few years had to send his back every year for failure to fire. They ended up replacing everything but the stock. But the warranty covered it. I do have one single that when I fired it the last time opened as if I hit the lever, it hangs on my wall now.

I have a Sears / Roebuck and Co. model 20 in a 16 Gauge and a Winchester model 1200 in a 16 Gauge both of these guns are pumps and a savage 16 gauge model 220 that is a single shot . I would rather use older shotguns then the newer ones

Have a thing for cheap old single shot shotguns? I have new guns and nicer guns but none have that feel My Brother has a collection of H & R Single shots from a Special edition "Youth" .410 that has a walnut stock and is checkered. He also has a Pardner 20 & 12 gauge, and a H & R Single shot "Turkey" 12 gauge with a wood camo. stock (which kicks like the Devil ). I still have my H&R Topper 058 in .410 which I bought back in 1969. Used it a few times for Squirrels this Season with successful Gray Squirrel harvests. Also have my Grandfathers 16 Gauge Springfield Model 1929 hanging on the wall above my Fathers 12 gauge Ithaca Model 37 Feather weight pump shotgun.

I have a 12 ga partner w 30" full choke and a Hopkins & Allen 16 ga circa 1910. My first gun as a boy was a savage 410... Wish I still had it, killed a ton of squirrels with it and a few rabbits.
