At one time I owned 6 Parkers without safeties.
One 30" straigtht grip known to have been ordered for the ring.
One 34" ordered for a well known trap shooter.
One 32" 20ga I have no idea why or for what she was ordered for and
Three 32" ers with no documentation other than ordered that way.
All were D grades except two VHEs.
If I could walk into the plant at Meriden today and order a new hammerless Parker today I would want one without a safety. One less thing to break or go wrong. I just dont think they are needed on competition guns. As for in the duck blind or in the field thats another story and to each his own.
