Default "The Parker Owner"

I got the book "Good Guns " from Rick Losey and had to share what he said was the the biggest problem with parkers.

"Apparently every pretentious shooter knows that this one American "name" is a safe bet to impress his like minded friends. (If he were richer he would automatically buy a Purdey , even if he could get a better deal on, say, a Dickson round action; his car is a BMW, his sour mash is Jack Daniels, his running shoes Adidas...you know he has running shoes...) And he thinks of his Parker -probably a light 12 hard kicking plain finished VHE as an investment even though he paid some name "dealer" $2200 for it. "

Personally I found it hilarious to read.

Enjoying the book.
