Parker Bros. Try-Gun Tools Reproduced

[Southpaw]

Obviously the try guns were made to sell more bespoke guns, or maybe did they modify some of the existing guns some after the fact. Anyway, I don't own a copy of Parker Story but does anyone know how many bespoke guns were made for customers.

I am like Bruce, to some extent, there has not been a gun made that did not fit me. Once came across a Grulla that was with cast to fit a left handed shooter. Somehow someone ordered it but did not take delivery so it was a new gun just sitting at the gun shop I frequented for close to a year. I will admit that was a sweet little gun and it fit me well, or at least it felt nice. Agonized a couple of months about it and then decided, heck I will just buy it. Went to shop and it was sold the day before. I said to owner that was a close call because I would of had to probably sell a few of my other guns I really liked to justify that purchase.

Generally speaking, any Parker that wasn't an 'off the rack' hardware store gun was a made to order gun or, in other words, a 'bespoke' gun. Parker Bros. made many thousands of guns 'to order', which included stock dimensions of course.
