That Bretton is too esoteric for me — aesthetically not pleasing to my eye. In shotguns, esp O/U and SxS’s I like the classic lines including English or POW grips. For me, on a top-tier gun, a very closed “pistol grip” breaks up the lines and appears harshly out of place. I believe the clay competitors would disagree with me but I’m talking for field use.

I think most guys would tend to agree with you. But competitive shooters want that positive control on the trigger hand. In return are willing to give up some of the" looks". A straight grip stock is much faster and natural with double triggers, which competition shotguns don't have.
