Dean, stop beating yourself up! At our local Chantilly VA 'show' (now rapidly approaching flea market/yard sale offerings), two prime Parkers were presented for sale: a very nice 20 ga. Damascus GH and a VERY seductive 20 ga. VH with 30" barrels perfect dimensions and straight grip! Luckily, I was able to honor my New Year's resolution to myself and, formerly having owned slight variants of both guns, held onto the integrity of my savings account in expectation of some hefty incoming bills from master gunsmiths now correcting problems requiring immediate attention on 3 of my 'hospital guns.' If I had to choose one to buy, it would have been the sleek (and I mean SLEEK!) little straight grip 30" twenty. As I examined it I could hear doves thudding to the floor all around me
