Charlie, this has non-rebounding locks so after you pull the trigger(s) the hammers fall and keep pressure on the firing pins. With the firing pins extended you can't open the gun. I am not sure how many early Parkers were made with these locks though I seem to have read in the Parker Story about Parker advertising their "new" Rebounding locks at some point. I usually forget to pull the hammers back to half cock at some point during my shooting and then try to open the gun wondering what is wrong.
George, I was at Peace Dale Shooting Preserve, which is just 10 minutes from my house. I do look forward to seeing you again at Addieville in April for the New England Fun Shoot!
