My Gawsh… Jay Oliver shooting boxlock Parkers

But I do love the straight grip guns, most especially Parkers, and though the splinter forends lend themselves to much sleeker, more aesthetic lines, I sure like a beavertail on the smaller gauges, like the 28 gauge Skeet gun I recently parted with. I think in that case I have better control of pointing the barrels faster… but that’s just me.
My second favorite is the true ball grip as my Lifters have… not the “half pistol grip” or the round knob grip, but the true ball grip with the slender grip with the exaggerated swollen ball… but again, that’s just me.
