I hate to take a contrary opinion to that of my buddy, but I don't think any Parker, other than guns built for target shooting, look good with a pad, even Silvers which is the least obnoxious of them all. I once owned a DHE with a seriously perished original pad. I replaced it with a Silvers, but always regretted the fact that the gun didn't have a skeleton butt. I no longer buy any Parker with a pad, original or aftermarket, I am currently looking for a nice BHE or CHE. If it has a pad, I won't buy it. Most Parkers were shipped without a pad. I guess I am somewhat of a purist. But many like pads and thats fine with me. I just don't want them on any of my personal guns.
