Straight Stock vs. Pistol Grip

Some think straight grips look better.
Some like blondes, some brunettes. Some Fords, some Chevys, etc. I like both. Ambiguity intended ; )
I think it comes down to rarity.

In 2000 I visited New England Arms in Kittery Point, ME. While looking over their extensive selection of Parkers I mentioned to their sales rep Steven McCarthy that the Parkers with straight grips seemed to be priced higher than those with a pistol grip. He replied "Yep, generally speaking a straight-grip Parker is valued at ~$1000 more than a comparable Parker with a pistol grip."

Wow, that is impressive. Thanks for the feedback. I like your art work of the geese.

After 50 years of shooting both straight and pistol grip ,I must say I shoot pistol grip much better for unknown reasons. I do think that most guns do look better with a straight grip stock. Long barrels and a straight grip sure looks great. As far as double triggers needing a straight stock , I never found that to be the case.

I think the key to double triggers is stock fit vs configuration. I have my reservations about the $1000 increase in value of straight vs pistol grip.
