One of the great things about collecting and shooting Parkers is that we have a wealth of facts and figures about service loads, proof loads, acceptable pressures, Parker recommended loads and data from Parker published in The Parker Story and in contemporary sales and information brochures. We have the Double Gun Journal with its actual engineering based testing in the Finding Out For Myself articles.
So when a person asks for advice here , he can be given real information and not just opinions or personal beliefs. I think we have a lot of smart people who come here and appreciate knowing what Parker said so that they can draw their own conclusions. We have these advantages with Parker. I like Lefevers also, but we lack as much factory information with them . I don’t know enough about Foxes or Smiths to say.
Plus some people like the way they look. Top one owned by a buddy. Bottom one is a 16ga from the closet.
I invite you to join the PGCA.
