I doubt anyone ever said American doubles were particularly notable from a mechanical point of view. But not too many of us buy guns based on their mechanical attributes...or at least that criteria is about #5 on the list of things we look for.
In any assessment, a Parker is a 'highly reliable' device when compared to all guns as a population. Their MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) must be a stellar figure. That's good enough for me.
I can think of no mechanical devices with moving parts that have ever been created that can't be criticized if you try hard enough. Dewey's comments are not without merit...but why he feels the need to voice them is beyond me. I'm privileged to have lived in a time when I can own and use a Parker....I don't complain.
