A VH 12 26 inch is what got me hooked when I started hunting with it. I guess because I shot it better than anything I had previously used and that included a lot of bird guns. Don't remember what year that was. I had owned one before a 16 ga Vh but never shot it. I traded a lot in my younger days. Maybe 40 years ago.

I think I bought my first Parker when I was 20 which would be 21 years ago now. I bought a VH 12ga 26" from Jack Puglisi. It is my favorite gun to shoot, though it had a lot more original condition when I got it than it does today from the use and enjoyment it has brought me.

I remember I talked to Mr.Jack before he passed about Parkers .
He didnt mind talking with a 18 yr old kid about Parkers .

I already got my eye on a few potential next Parkers , it will be awhile but some of these sit for a long time though . I think eventually I would like to get a PH 16 ga .

Even with the 6 frame being almost 13lbs my excitement has hardly let me put it down .
