Scott,

J.D. Gay ordred all of his Parkers without safety. His 20 gauge DH(E, I can't remember) is like yours behind the top lever. I just don't have a picture of it. He shot the snot out of this 20 and carried it closed as he thought if you were safe even if the gun did discharge no one would be hurt.

Harry

OK, look back at 5-22 where Harry Collins posted a picture of a single trigger gun. This is the picture that a poster refers to on 12-6-10.

Drew, Here's a pic of my 20ga VHE with its 32" and 28" barrels. It too is safteyless with a 2 screw SST. The trigger has not been reliable for me; L. D. got it going good for me about 4 years ago but it has since reverted to its wayward ways. I'll see if I can get some highres closeups for you to go with Harry's.

Weren't most of the small bore guns with no safety ordered by the gentleman quail hunter in the south?? No need for a safety when one only loads a gun when walking up on a covey that is being pointed by a brace of fine dogs. But then, I have heard of guys that don't use the safety on their modern guns. Why take the time to flip it off safe when a bird is flushed....

Pete, is that a picture of Scott's gun?.....if so I was looking at the same gun and considered buying it but did not. That looks exactly like the picture the dealer had on his site. Congratulations Scott on such a great gun!
