Is the .410 CZ bobwhite built on a smaller frame than the 28g?

Each gun in the line is built on frames proportionate to their specific gauge.

"proportionate", in the case of the .410 gauge, is the same frame as the 28 gauge. In fairness to CZ, if "proportionate" were interpreted to mean "proportionate to the barrel diameter as compared to other gauges", the resulting receiver would be so thin as to be uncomfortable for most shooters.

Why, oh why, would you ever switch (away from a 28)?

It could well be that he may have been thinking of getting an additional Bobwhite in a .410 - straightshooter is right though, personally I won't prefer anything more slimmer than the Bobwhite 28ga .....will feel like holding a fishing rod :D

I did see an image (in Shotgun World Forum) of a .410 Bobwhite compared to an AYA 28ga and the .410 very clearly seemed to be on a diet :)
 
What can I say, I was shooting starlings and crows on our farm warming up for the season and doing very, very well with my little .410 (it frustrated me prior to patterning, once I got the hang of it after looking at a couple patterns, it clicked). Started thinking about standardizing on .410 for the loading etc for upland. I really enjoyed how quiet the light 2 1/2" loads were as well, just a very minimalist way of doing things.

...also, I should admit, I love micro sized firearms, I have a Cooper M38 .22CCM for instance, the smallest contemporary centerfire cartridge and action. I'd be very, very pleased with something smaller than my 28. :)

In the 1986 edition of GUN DIGEST, there's an article that contains a photo of a man holding the "World's smallest shotgun" - a SXS, IIRC. In the image, the gun looks to be about 18 inches to 2 feet long. I have no idea what gauge it's supposed to be. Now that you got me thinking about it, I'm going to have to dig up that story and have another look at it. I've tried an internet search, but all I get are hits for a teeny revolver made by the SwissMiniGun Company.
