Dean I was wondering the same thing. If they are there to keep the shell from falling out of the chamber it does not make much sense to me as one would have to turn the gun up side down before this would happen. From my experience and with most of my non-ejector doubles, the spent shells do not easily fall out but have to be removed by hand. It would seem to me to make more sense that they are there to bleed off gas to reduce recoil. Maybe the research letter will provide an explanation.
Jerry you say you have an LC with cuts like this in the barrels. These are not cuts but spring-loaded pins.
Has anyone seen a Parker with this option? Does anyone have an opinion if this is a factory option or an aftermarket add on?
