Will, not all Parkers balance perfectly at the hinge.
Of the Parkers I keep in my office, here is what I found.
All are original configuration.
Trojan 16ga 28" "1" frame ............ 1/4" behind hinge (towards trigger guard)
VHE 20ga 2 barrel "0" frame, 26" bbls ..... 3/4" behind hinge
-------------------------- 30" bbls .... at hinge pin
VH 410 26" "000" frame .................. 1 1/8" behind hinge
GH 16ga 26" "0" frame ................. 3/4" behind hinge
GHE 16ga 28" "1" frame ................. 1/2" behind hinge
DHE 20ga 28" "0" frame .................. 5/8" behind hinge
Five of my hammer guns are barrel heavy and balance ahead
of the hinge. (towards muzzle) One has 1" shortened barrels and one has a recoil pad.
