- - Best Frame Sizes (https://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=26215)

The best frame size for any Parker is the one you own and that you shoot well and enjoying carrying. When the gun fits, the frame size often is not an issue (obviously within reason).

No hammerless Parker 20, that we know of, was made on such a small frame size.

This is 10165...

No, I do not have an especially large hand... 10165 is an especially diminutive Parker 20.

Wow that one is rather tiny for sure ! We were in Fredericksburg VA at the Fausti headquarters picking up some warranty repair guns a couple years ago , they had just gotten back from the Dallas Safari Club Show , one of the guns they had taken was a very diminutive 28 gauge hammer gun which intrested me until he dropped the price on me , think it was about 50G’s :eek: For that price I could get a 28 VH a 410 VH and most likely a16 VH on an 0 frame .

Mills, that was supposed to be a secret about the 1 frame.

Among the most interesting and coveted frame sizes are the high grade 28 gauges made on the 000 .410 frame. They were owned by a PGCA member who has passed away. I don't know where they are now. They are genuine 000 frames. I have measured the firing pin separation on both guns.

Wow! I'd sure like to see those Bill...

They were displayed at the PGCA Annual Show at the OGCA several years ago. My neighbor and PGCA member Terry Boose displayed them on his table. They are the real deal.
