Hi Dennis,
Hey, maybe it's just me but I like a safety on my duck guns, especially if there is a dog in the blind!
Modern steel shot shells produce recoil that is much to much for the old wood in our old Parkers.
If you open the choke on a safety-less long barreled Parker you will instantly reduce its value by approximately 40%.
I shoot Nice Shot hand loads at 7000 - 8000 PSI which kill ducks and geese at ranges of what lead would do. Bismuth also works good, it is just not as effective as Nice Shot.
