Took the Parker out yesterday with the dogs to get them some exercise and to point some planted Bobwhites. Really like how the gun fits and patterns on birds. The single trigger and ejectors operated flawlessly. I think it's a keeper.
The only thing that was surprising was it has that barrel ring that some Parkers experience when fired. I had this on another Parker once. I personally don't like it, but I'm sure I will get used to it. I will do a little experimenting to see if it's the top lever or something else.

I have never experienced a barrel ring when I shoot any of my Parkers.

Phil, you can do what I did to isolate the ringing. Wrap the top lever in a few turns of masking tape and fire to test for the ring. I found that the ring was definitely coming from the top lever.
