Maybe if you're that intimidated by criticism, you ought to get the mods to put a sticky up that says it's only permissible to post if you Love repros.
Just to set the record straight, I never said I hated the gun, and in fact have mildly intimated the opposite. If you're unhappy that I'm not just gushing over them, I can't help you with that.
I recognize it would have made the gun somewhat more expensive had they done the case hardening in bone/leather/organic, as opposed to cyanide. Finding a sufficient quantity of American, or European walnut would have been difficult, and more expensive.
No, I'm not in love with the repro, like I am a Meriden gun. I don't hate it, and if I have enough years left, and wake up some morning unhappy that between the far left, and far right of my 15 Parkers, there is a gun missing, gauge, grade, whatever, I might fill it with a Repro. I've certainly done dumber things than that.

Who said you hated them...? And I'm certainly not intimidated by your criticisms. As I said, you're entitled to your opinion. I also never said you needed to "gush over them." I also didn't call this the "Parker Reproduction Gun Collectors Association," however, the part of the forum that you are reading right now is specifically about Parker Reproductions. I don't belong to the PGCA simply because I have no interest in original Parkers, and I'm not a "Collector." Sounds like you may be a bit overly sensitive ?
