Where have all the Norwich Large frame guns gone to? I have not seen one for sale for a long time. It has been all Monson era large frames for sale on GB for quite some time now. I own 3 Monson guns…a .445, .357 Max, and a .44. I only own one Norwich a .445. I have to say that I like my Norwich the best of them all. It has the nicest trigger by far and just seems like a more well refined gun in general. Maybe this is why you don't see too many large frame Norwich guns for sale anymore.

You have answered your own question. Also, only a small fraction of the amount of Monson guns were made in Norwich.

Thanks for the info ….I was unaware that any Monson guns were ever made at Norwich. I thought it went Monson..Palmer…then Norwich.

What he means is: Only a small fraction of guns were made at Norwich compared to Monson.  I'm fluent in Ron speech...

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

Oh…..LOLlol2….Thanks for clearing that up…. I was like, what would Norwich be doing making Monson guns...big-grin

Well I consider myself very lucky to own a beautiful stainless .445 Norwich . I hope someday to own a stainless .44 Norwich and a stainless .357 max Norwich. I like my Monsons too but the Norwich seems just a bit better to me.

Ron, thank you for clarifying my post. I am still a little loopy from an extremely dangerous infection that I had. Still on intravenous antibiotics for E Coli sepsis. I think it affected my thinking. At least that is what my wife says. Haha.
