Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Bruce’s gun is by far my best gun show find ever. I was cruising the aisles of a show and usually only stop when I see two barrels oriented the right way (side by side, of course!). Stroll up to this guys table and he has several horrendous looking Belgian guns and this 1883 Colt. I notice it’s in nice shape and has some gold so I ask if I can see the gun. Then notice the gold has Bruce’s initials on the trigger guard. His exact initials. And the gun was in damn nice original condition.
Damn - that doesn’t happen every day!
I text a few photos around and get the OK to buy the gun for Bruce. In what had to have been the world’s worst show of negotiations, I tell the seller my friend’s name is exactly as the initials are on this gun. He knows the hook is set and makes me pay full sticker price for his gun- wouldn’t back off even a single dollar! It didn’t matter because I couldn’t leave the gun there but it damaged my ego to be the first guy in gun show history to pay the full sticker price at a show!!
Since we are all a little crazy and the fun is in the hunt, I’m still looking hard for a “JSL” factory engraved/gold inlaid gun to show up.....
