Wayne,
I fully appreciate your trepidation. I worked my way into shooting Damascus and Twist Parker's very slowly. With all we have learned I have come to the conclusion, rightly or wrongly, that Parker's are all near equally as strong. I have two 1881 Twist Parker underleavers that take off the shelf shotgun shells. The 10 gauge is difficult to find 2 7/8" shells for, but the 12 gauge lives on a diet of off the shelf 1 oz loads at 1200 fps or below. Just try not to flinch as you grow a custom to the strength of Parker barrels.
