Doctor's gun and Lawyers gun---where did I read that
 
I am literally losing my mind on this, I thought it was in Ed Muderlack's book "The Old Reliable" but that isn't it....nor is it in the Parker Story that I found.

I remember reading it in the descriptions of the various grades, but I am having trouble finding such information.

It may be in TPS and I have just missed it.

Don't spend a whole lot of time looking for it unless you can't stand not remembering where you saw it. The "doctor's gun" was nothing more than a colloquialism used in reference to the Parker D grade (grade 3) gun, since many doctors preferred and ordered them because of the nice engraving and the very affordable price. I have never heard the term "lawyer's gun" in similar use in reference to any graded Parker.

Oh its more just me trying to remember where I read it....

I searched the Parker Pages index on our site and found that there was an article "The Doctors Gun" by Todd Allen published in 2016

Bill Holcombe 07-26-2018 07:16 PM

Thanks Robin. Maybe that was it.

I remember the reference to the “doctors gun” many years before Todd’s article.

Perhaps in Peter Johnson’s book or Larry Baer’s...

It wasn't Johnsons. If it was Baer....I must have misplaced that book.

Dean Romig 07-26-2018 09:39 PM

Spellcheck really ruins the English language.

I noticed that it ‘corrected’ my spelling of Baer so I corrected spellcheck’s misspelling of it then I saw where spellcheck misspelled your word “misplaced”.... absolutely infuriating!

In all honesty that could have been my fat thumbs on cell phone keyboard...but lets just go ahead and blame spell check.

It's in The Parker Story.
