Well, y'all forced me to dig out "The Parker Story", and I must say you are right in all your quotes. I was speaking from supposed experience with my gun, but as TPS says sometimes a smaller frame gun would not open even with a fishtail lever. My gun in question is a one frame gun.
In answer to the inquiry of the original poster, buy the gun if you like it, even though it's not written in the Parker Story, the fishtail lever is "sexy as hell!"
