The Citori Lightning has all the advantages of the standard Browning Citori shotgun designs with the addition of Browning's lightning style grip. The Lightning's rounded pistol grip offers a more open grip than full pistol grip designs, acting as a midpoint in design between ultra-speedy straight grips and extremely stable full pistol grips. The Lightning's steel receiver has a blued finish and high-relief engraving. The absence of a recoil pad adds to the graceful look of the profile and saves weight. The Citori Gran Lightning features deeply blued barrels, receiver, top lever, and trigger guard merged with a satin-finished, high grade walnut stock. The trigger is gold in the classic Browning tradition and the checkering is a fine-line 24-per-inch cut that is true Browning with its sharpness and precision.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
16 gauge has generally fallen out of favor in the USA due to the 20 gauge 3” chamber offering which overlap the 16 gauge performance. However the 16 gauge still has a small loyal following with many fine serviceable guns in circulation. Although guns are no longer commonly manufactured in the US they are still produced by fine makers in Europe and ammunition is still in production world wide. The camber length is 2 ¾” with no known 3” offerings. The most common load is one ounce. Shotgun "gauge" originally meant "number of round balls to the pound, so a round 16-gauge ball weighs once ounce. Fans of the 16-gauge argue that it is thus the most balanced shotgun load with a short shot string. — Craig Boddington
