Here's my two cents on this one.
Yes, there is a common perception that the Repro twenties are a bit on the heavy side. With that said, it's not totally fair to compare them with original Parker twenties in that the bros. Parker could & did make guns in all sorts of different profiles & weights even within the same frame size. An example of this is how some, one frame sixteens with the same barrel length can weigh less than a comparable zero framed gun.
My bottom line that I try to live by is to judge every gun as an individual; I like some & others fall short of my subjective tastes.
I'm just glad we have the repro's because I've had one heck of a lot of fun with them over the years.
