One word of caution about the gun. The early guns Parker made have a sharp 90 degree corner where the breach meets the frame and that was a serious design flaw. It didn't take them long to change the sharp corner into a small radius to stop the possibility of the frame cracking at the sharp corner. Your gun has a sharp corner.

I have similar Parker's and shoot them but I take care not to put to much of a load on them; I hunt with them but I don't shoot clays with them; just to keep the odds low that the metal might fail. I strongly recommend you use low pressure loads, I shoot RST shells in mine and have yet to have a problem.
