I may need to go to a specialty shotgun site, but I thought I'd post here first. Two classics with strong locking mechanisms, neither of which I own. I do own a few old Elsies, all of which close like a bank vault. Also a Parker ("Trojan", not a pricey graded gun) and an Ithaca Flues. They're sleek and pretty, but not particularly strong. Light loads for them. The NID, of course, was designed to handle "modern" higher pressure shells, post-1926.

So, which one should I add to my collection next?
