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 agree. No way Parker did that at the factory. But, I am not convinced that it was not for a lefty. Hard to say what predicated someone to do that with a trigger. I do know this is that when I shoot Parkers with typical 99% right handed setup my trigger finger gets beat up pretty good by sharp edge of left barrel trigger. To reach front right barrel trigger your finger may lay on edge of rear trigger. I guess I have fat fingers. Have never had a double fire since recoil puts pressure back to front on left trigger but if I don't wear gloves that area just between the knuckle and next joint toward finger tip (not certain what part of the finger is called) becomes raw. After about 15 rounds is when I start noticing the effect and small nicks in skin. After about 25 rounds its more noticeable if not wearing gloves.
It could be that a lefty shooter bent that trigger to the right to avoid that trigger slap on the finger. Or, as Dean suggested it could be for gnarled right handed shooter that may have lost a finger tip. My uncle was a high school shop teacher that can do amazing things with wood but he got careless one day and now is missing some finger tips on his trigger finger. That might be the justification moving that trigger over.
BTW its a sacrifice I am willing to take to shoot Parkers. Remember telling my dad as kid after a dove hunt where I shot more rounds than probably necessary about the issue with finger. He just said "Suck it up buttercup".
