The Boys are Back. If you thought that you might have missed your chance to add a new Browning Citori Lightning to your collection, now is the time to rejoice. These three new models share the reputation for durability earned by their forebearers, and feature new receiver engraving artwork and stock checkering that provide updated style to this timeless design.
Gran Elegance, Gran Performance. Gorgeous grade V/VI walnut and detailed gold-accented engraving set the Gran Lightning apart from all other Citori Lightning variants.
A well-rounded pistol grip for performance. The Citori Gran Lightning's round knob or pistol grip allows the shooter to position his hand at the same, solid place for each shot, thus offering better control for fast-flying waterfowl, upland game, sporting clays or skeet. Matching the rounded pistol grip is the forearm. It is nicely rounded and together, they give the name to this over under gun as "Lightning Style".

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 28 gauge was introduced in 1903 by Parker Brothers, famous for double-barrel shotguns. With a nominal bore diameter of .550-inch, it is considered a "small gauge" shotgun, and 28 gauge is one of the four officlal events in American skeet. Case length is 2 3/4 inches and the standard charge is just 3/4-ounce of shot. That said, with modern shells the 28 gauge is surprisingly effective on both clay targets and upland birds. Although definitely an "expert's shotgun," the 28 gauge has the advantage of low recoil, can be built into very light shotguns, and is much more effective than the .410. Over the years it was kept alive mostly by serious skeet shooters, but today is often chosen by serious upland bird hunters. Because of pellet count it is most effective with smaller shot sizes (7 1/2, 8, and 9), so is rarely employed by waterfowlers.
