IMHO, Dave
TPS does mention that 1 frame Hammer parkers still have interference. Even with the hooked lever. The one hammer gun that I have owned with the hooked lever was able to open when cocked. And with how close that lever was to the hammer, it would surely not have been able to be done with a straight lever.
