Thanks everyone! And thank you Garry for your very thorough and thoughtful response regarding your experiences hunting. Most of my time is spent chasing ol’ ruff and the timber doodlers and that’s how I expect I’ll be using this most of the time, so hopefully my experience is the same as yours in that regard and this gun ends up being especially well suited for the occasion.
Does anyone have any insight to the production approach Parker took regarding balance? Would a gun have been intentionally balanced forward, rearward, or between the hands because of a customer request or any other reason? Although I know nothing of their production, I would expect they would have had a process to match barrels with frame and wood to give consistent results unless built for various purposes or as requested by a customer.
I realize that we’re only talk about a few ounces, so maybe I’m overthinking it. Just curious if anyone has any insight on the topic.
