A .410 Parker is a fantasy gun to me. Not a necessity, but something that stirs the soul.
I can't afford one at the moment, but I can imagine opening day doves, or bird ranch quail hunts with the Barbie Doll of the shotgun world.
I say keep the .410 reports flowing.

I have longed for, lusted after, dreamed of a Parker 410 for decades but spending that kinda of cash on a VHE just wasn't as apealing as the actual gun. I did the next best thing and bought a CSM Fox FE 410. Its a great gun for the money and satisfies my 410 craveings.

I have to be honest ,I love my Parker 410 ,there is hardly a day goes by ,I don't get it out just to take a look at it ! They're not cheap by any means but how do you put a price on that much enjoyment ! It was a major decision to purchase it ,and I had to trade some other very unique guns to make it possible but ,with that said , there is no buyers remorse here I would do it again today ! Russ

My Stevens .410 is one of my favorite non Parker guns too. It took me almost as long to find just the right one as it did for me to find my Parker.

Owning Parker .410s are like owning a boat....two of the happiest days of your life are the day you buy it and the day you sell it. Currently, a worst-kept secret is that the 28 gauge is the new .410.....they are definitely 'wispy' guns (as in, "Will O' The Wisp").

My dad gave me a single barrel 410 when I reached the age of twelve (12) it's a Springfield made by Stevens I believe and I have it today and it probably holds as much memory and meaning (or more) to me as my Dad's (and his Dad's) 16 VH which I have also. The 410 single will go to my grandson.
