Got Balls?
So in the hammerless guns, we saw what Parker called straight hand, pistol grip and half pistol grip. In the hammers, we saw straight hand, pistol grip and ball grip. And then there is the Osborne/Dunkle gun with the finger waved pistol grip, I'm not sure what the correct term for that is. There are a few early hammerless with true ball grips, and one is shown above. What some people call ball grips have no increased radius and are what Parker called half pistol grips.
Other people views on what is correct Parker terminology is always appreciated.
