Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

I profess that I am ignorant when it comes to standards and methodology for setting trigger pull weights on shotguns. I have heard different theories and liability issues from new gun manufacturers. I completely get it when hunting with a rifle about trigger weights, but just not as concerned on shotguns as long as it's not something obscene like 10 lbs.
Personally what I like in a shotgun trigger is a firm smooth and consistent action, where the trigger is not wobbly or shaky but is firm and solid. As long as the pull weight is no more than 5 or 7 poundish then I am okay with that for me in a game gun. There is just so much quick movement and activity in shotgun shooting that higher trigger pull weights give me a little more sense of security.
For me getting a trigger pull weight on shotgun close to what you would expect for a rifle is just dangerous. Most rifle shots are prepared dedicated action over an extended period. Most shotguns situations have you mounting the gun smoothly as slide safety off and shooting the gun quickly and in sometimes tight cover with poor balance in brush etc. Nope, trigger that takes a little extra effort in those circumstances doesn't bother me a bit.
Besides I can't think of a single time where I missed a shot because of trigger weight, its mostly because I did not mount the gun right or stopped my swing on a sustained lead. Again maybe I am ignorant could be a great excuse for missing that I need to add to repertoire. "Damn trigger weight was too heavy and cost me a split second as that bird flew behind that tree I just shot". Second thought maybe something to it. Dang, I now need to go check my trigger pulls.
Did Parker publish a recommended setting for trigger pull weights.
