Don, It's a real interesting gun; I sure wish we had records for it. It has seen a lot of use but it works and fits great except for the cranky early Parker SST. The trigger is knurled or checked and is positioned in the center of the guard. Larry D. worked on it and it was good for a couple of years, but now a second shot can't be counted on. The stock is definitely Parker with an old Hawkins pad but the comb is heavier (thicker) than usual. Barrel #2 came later as it's marked with Parker overload proved. The gun has taken both pheasant and grouse for me and Ringo.

What frame is that gun on Fred? I've handled it but have forgotten needless to say.

I don't see the need for a saftey on a double, like a previous member said " it what is between the ears" as I have seen more accidental discharges at the range all over there "saftey". I have a Parker DHE 12ga. with 30" barrells straight stock, tightly choked without the saftey ,made in 1911 and have no problem hunting partridge here in northern Ontario Canada. Hunting upland game here your chasing birds and rabbits threw the thick brush and I sure have no need of a safety, I just keep in my head the rules I was taught as a youth by my Dad and Grampa. A saftey is a lawyer preventitive, we never nowadays put any responsibility on our actions on our self anymore!!!By the way nice gun

No safety on the range is OK but in the field? You have never slipped or had your feet tangle in the weeds and gone to the ground? With a safety on, sticks and heavy weed stems have a slim chance of firing the gun if you fall. What's between the ears doesn't do your hunting partner any good if he ends up in the line of fire if you accidentally fall.

We have so much land here we don't walk side by side as we have millions of acres of land and also only one man at a time goes into the thickets while the others wait on the slash road!! And yes I have slipped but the gun is broke when hunting with partners, I think you have been listening to those lawyers to much down in the lower 48, up here we don't sue at a drop of the hat, people up here are still responsible for their own actions, and it should not be up to a company lawyer weather I want a saftey or not on my gun. It is unfortunate that our society has become Blame the guy who produces the product, its unreal. If you don't agree with me thats fine we seem to have that right for now, but if those lawyers keep going you never no!! I also understand that your former vice president can shoot his partner accidentally and knowone called the lawyers or the gun manufacturer, just kidding I do have a sence of HAHA Dale in Canada
