Angel, I have the same problem with a gun most people would love to have. Just don't seem to shoot it as well as other Parkers. It is a 16 ga O frame DHE, with a straight grip, and 26" barrels choked cyl/mod. It weighs 6 lbs even. That would seem to be pure death as a grouse gun, but I struggle to shoot it well. I shoot my VH 1 frame 16, GH O frame 16, and VHE 20 with confidence, but struggle with that gun. I carried it this weekend pheasant hunting and had a chance at a true double. I did hit both birds, but neither cleanly. The dogs( setters) brought back 1 runner , but I lost the second in a quarter acre of impenetrable brush. I swear that with any other gun I would have dropped them cleanly. Still, I would have a hard time parting with that gun, not rare, but darn hard to find in that configuration. I guess I would say don't sell it unless you could turn it into a gun you like better.
Merry Christmas Angel, and to all on the PGCA forum.
