The elimination of the Trojan's rib extension was yet another cost saving modification to the already 'cheapest' entry level hammerless gun that Parker made. By eliminating the rib extension it also eliminated the necessity of recessing the top of the frame to accept it. Further, the top rib could now be more cheaply made as a one-piece, full-length rib.
