[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 901610, member: 711"] Franchis are very light, but I have seen several die on the skeet field from lots of shooting. They are great for dove and quali, but their lightness adds a surprising amount of recoil unless they have whipped the problem in the past few years. An acquaintance of mine shot a duck with a 12 ga Franchi. The shot was directly overhead and he had ounce and a half 2 3/4 inch mag loads. He broke either his collar bone or his scapula, I forget which. Killed the heck out of the duck. For the little girl, the Franchi 28 would be better. They are sweet, but I don't know how durable they are. CB [/QUOTE]
