No one can tell you over the internet what ammunition may or may not be safe in a given gun. But, a 12-gauge 2-frame Parker in solid condition should handle 1 1/4-ounce progressive burning smokeless powder, high velocity lead loads and has probably in its life digested plenty of Super-X or Remington Express.
Were there ever 12 gauge Parker’s chambered to 2 1/2”
? The gun shop that made the transfer for me measured it while I was filling out paper work and he swore they were 2 1/2” not the usual 2 5/8”… not sure of his skill with the gauge as it seemed to take him a while..
