J.P Dean's Parker
Has anyone here ever heard of this gentleman? His gun is available here in Canada and I am thinking of purchasing it. I cannot find any information about his shooting accomplishments so it may not be much providence other than what is advertised. I don't own or have access to the Parker volumes mentioned to look up the article on the gun.
