I would stay away from Damascus barrels. Not that there aren't quality damascus barreled guns still out there. But unless you have someone that really knows how to inspect them and just really like the looks to me it isn't worth it.

If you have big hands like me, you will learn to love a beavertail forearm. No they aren't as pleasing to the eye but much more functional. Shoot driven birds and let me know how you like the splintered Forearm.

As for the wrist sure straight grip is faster handling, but a pistol gives you better control. There is a reason Trap, Skeet, Sporting clays, and Pigeon shooters all use a Pistol grip versus a straight grip.

As for a 10ga I don't see a viable reason to own one. Too many negatives for me anyways.

The Zoli-Rizzini isn't a bad gun at all. But so far from what I have seen posted here the best one going is the Beretta SilverHawk.
