The 28 is mathematically "perfect" according to the British, and I defer to them about all things shotgun. Something about the width and length of the shot column being ideal for patterns. I don't know about that, but I know the 28 drops birds all out of proportion to its size, so I am believing...
Wish they had the classic narrow grooves on the slide. Those wide ones always look like a Philippine .45 to me. Thankfully it is lacking forward cocking serrations.
Very nice! You bet your Aya that is a reasonable alternative to an English shotguns on a realistic budget. They are very lively with the balance right between the hands...now that I am getting older, I am thinking about trimming down my lifelong collection. I should do that and buy an Aya. Lot...
I have a good friend that is a constant corrupter, offering to let me shoot numerous firearms that are beyond my means. His English shotguns are my favorites. Almost like them enough to come out of retirement long enough to buy one...almost.
Nothing like traveling outside the United States to make someone realize how great this Country is! But I do continue to have a lifelong weakness for English Cars and Motorbikes.

I read everything I see...never know when you might pick up something new. This felt like an AI article to me as it lacked Ayoob's usual personality. But in the end, I agree with everything he says. My dad is 86 years old and still can rack the slide without effort just by cocking it first...
Ha ha Killer Ford! I finally found the right wife after 20 plus years of try outs. Not trading her for anything! But my Cobra is factory built by Backdraft Racing. Check them out...I have had mine since age 50, over ten years with no troubles; wife would not ride a motorcycle with me, but loves...
The X series Glocks make no sense to me. The butt is the hard part to hide, not the BBL. So I cut my Glock 19 grip frame down to 26 dimensions back in the day when you had to buy a custom slide from Suarez to get a RMR mount. Works great for me. Stock 19 on the right. In the winter when it is...
