I owned one, and the only difference I could detect was the serial #, which began with SS, and the fact that Dunn's sold them. Also they were all 28" bbls with 3" chambers choked IC/Mod. Parker Reproductions made other 28" bbl 3" chambered IC/Mod guns, which were not Steel Shot Specials; I bought one last Spring. I sold the Steel Shot Special because the pistol grip stock it had was made with too much drop and I didn't shoot it well. I think they were sold mostly as a marketing thing. And yes, Robin, no "if" about it, all Parker Repros were designed to be used with steel shot (except full choke).
