The gun is a 1-frame. It balances pretty well but it is a little muzzle heavy but not so much as to be a distraction in the heat of the moment. Someday I hope to find a 20/28, 0-frame, in the same configuration. Jay |

Yep, I know of "one" unfortunately I don't own it anymore, but it's setting in the care of great caretaker who has a passion for fine American doubles.

Same with one that I kept in my safe for about 8 or 9 years...

It was a no brainer Garry. It was one of two that went to pay off my mortgage when I was surprised with an unexpected “retirement.”

Hard not to see the investment value in guns that help pay the mortgage.

Just a thought about Parker work. As you read and learn, many of the competition shooters seem to have always returned their guns to Parker to keep them in top shape and looking good. We really do not know how often this was done but if Parker did it, no problem. Interesting conversation, glad to hear of the good ones but as one member noted, we don't see many of those good ones out here, those Yankees keep buying them. Hats off to those Yankees who are keeper of the flame and great Parkers for future generations.
