Yes, a longer lop would have helped. When I spoke with my dad about this he said that my grandfather had ordered the gun with the dimensions including a substantial drop. I seem to recall that he got it through one of the leading Boston gun stores at the time. It always had too much drop for me and when it came time through wear and tear from hard use to have DelGrego restock it, I had them use more normal dimensions. To be honest, I don't shoot it that much anymore as I prefer Shooting other Parker's in my possession but I do take it out from time to time in the field and put a tie on my shirt in remembrance of how my grandfather and dad dressed to hunt birds in New England.
