I cannot recall Tony ever having a Parker that he priced at $1400. He is always very proud of his Parker offerings. Show us some pictures please.

I bought a GHE 16 on the 0-frame with Damascus barrels cut to 26” from 28” for exactly $1400. Originally priced at $1750. I spoke with Tony on the phone and asked him what he thought about the gun. His words were “I hate the @&$#ing thing - do you want it for $1400?” I said yes.

I repeat my previous post. Buy the gun, not the dealer. The dealer is in business to make money. He has to sell the bad guns as well as the good guns. It's up to you to determine which guns are bad and which guns are good. Don't expect the dealer to tell you which is which. The same goes with cars. There are bad and good on the lot and the dealer has to sell all of them. I have good friends in the gun and the car business, but I look at the product and ignore some of what the dealer tells me. Homework.
