Hopefully this admission won’t get me banned from the board. I only have one Parker, a Trojan 20, that I use for all my upland hunting. For waterfowl I use a Benelli SBE.

Besides Parkers I have Fox, JP Sauer, Ithaca, Browning, Winchester, Remington, and have owned other brands over time. A little variety never hurt anyone.

Since joining the PGCA I haven’t wanted to buy any other make of shotgun.... with two exceptions. One was a 5 lbs 20 gauge Ithaca double that was so cheap my money hand just unconsciously reached in my pocket and pulled out the lettuce. I’ve never shot it but figured it might be nice to carry in the field when I’m 90. The other was a Lefever 16 gauge that I thought I needed. Shortly after, I realized I would never hunt with the piece. I sold it for a real good deal. Only lost $200. For me when you add it all up nothing else compares to the Parker gun.

I'm no more a one "gun" man than I am a one gamebird man. Doves, ducks, quail ....... all deserve allegiance. Same with my doubles. But, this new Parker DHE has been christened "Melania"....... after all, she is the first lady of my current doubles.

1st bird taken on the wing, a passing mallard, age 16, a borrowed Trojan 12, pulled both triggers by mistake, knocked me over, bird fell too, no damage to the gun. 2nd bird, a cock pheasant, over our English setter, used Dad's LC Smith Ideal Grade 12 -- I still have and treasure that gun. Then somehow 50 years went by and the gun cabinet filled to overflowing with a variety guns and many fond memories. Only one Parker though -- just purchased it this year -- a nice 16 ga Damascus 0 frame GH. It was my go to upland bird gun this season until recently. My latest obsession is hunting with and shooting black powder out of a 9.2 lb 30" Damascus 10 gauge A grade H&R 1882. I love 'em all -- can't see myself settling down any time soon.
