“Best Frame Size” as we have seen, is entirely subjective.

I am still searching for the 00 frame .410 skeet gun that I let get away several years ago. Other than that gun, I like my #2 frame 20 best. The 1/2 frame 12s are sweethearts also, if made light, as they should be.

what about 10 ga?

How about "Old 71,767", the only known #1 frame ten? It's the scariest Parker I've ever seen, when looking into the breech.

The absolute best frame size without a doubt is the one between my hands in the field at that moment in time.:clap:

I have just begun using my 3 frame GH 12 for ducks this year. 30" heavy Damascus barrels. Really feels right in a duck blind!

Dean nailed it. It is indeed entirely subjective, especially I think, with the 12ga. For ducks and such a 2 or 3 frame to handle the heavier loads is great. For pheasants over flushing dogs a 1-1/2 or a 2 frame works well, depending on how close the dogs work. Over good pointing dogs and birds that hold, a 1 or 1-1/2 frame works best for me. For quail, chukars, grouse and woodcock in cover, a short 1-frame just can't be beat. I do love my 1-frame, 26" open-choked GHE12 for heavy cover and carrying all day. Oh yeah, it's subjective for sure, and that's why you gotta have a house full!

The vast majority of my Parker's are either O or 1 frame guns with the O frames leading the pack:)

I'm a sucker for O frame 16s. I have 6..VH...GH....Pistol/Straight/26"/28"..and the 16 Hammer with the lightened frame cuts..
