I know of only one Parker hammer gun with a safety. It is in the PGCA Collection and can be displayed at any official PGCA event.

Dean is the safety original to the gun? I would assume so but I've never heard of one but as the saying goes never say never. I would also assume this was a special order request.

I don’t remember if it was original to the gun.

I’ll post a picture or two tonight.

Someone else may know the history of how it came to be. Something in my memory tells me it was experimental and may have been created at PB in Meriden - though I may very well be wrong.

God willing, I will start the grouse season on blue grouse in Northern Nevada in a couple weeks. The gun will be a choke-tube Winchester M 21, with 28" bbls. The following month will be ruffs in Idaho, where the go to gun will be a 20 gauge Trojan.

Decisions? What decisions? Who's losing sleep. We buy guns in the same way we buy the right screwdrivers or other tools for the job. Grouse SKB o/u or LC Featherweight, both 20 ga. Parker16 0 frame waits for birds over decoys; hammers slow me a speck on grouse.

Exactly! there are a few to choose from. I tend to take what I didn't take last year for the most part. Gunner's Gun is a staple it goes everywhere

Rich: I am in the same quandary but it's duck guns. I have made my choices for 2019 well in advance of the season. From a potential list of 25 I am down to the final 5. Some are virgins I haven't taken game with others are old friends. CH 10ga 34", Fox C-HE 12ga 30, Parker DHE 12ga #3 frame, Parker BH 12ga 30" #2 frame, Parker DHE 20ga 30" California duck gun.
Good luck take some nubies and a few old friends. Life is good if you can hunt with more than 1 gun.
