I got the bug to shoot a 10ga gun after reading about them in series by Sherman Bell in DGJ. I decided to try and find a Smith. My first 10ga was a stroke of luck, a Pigeon grade 10 with 30 inch steel barrels. The gun is one of 4 Pigeon grade 10ga guns made. Since I have added two 10ga grade 3's and a long range Eagle. Along the way I have sold a Ideal 10, Syracuse number 3 10 and grade 1 10.
