“Best Frame Size” as we have seen, is entirely subjective.

I am still searching for the 00 frame .410 skeet gun that I let get away several years ago. Other than that gun, I like my #2 frame 20 best. The 1/2 frame 12s are sweethearts also, if made light, as they should be.

Charlie is right on the early 7 frame 8ga are awesome.Phil Carr came and shot one with me last year its was one of the coolest guns guns I've ever held.
A 7 frame 8ga is the complete opposite of the triple 0 frame 410 but both look they were meant to be.The 36" barrels were new to me also.What a gun. |

The best frame size for any Parker is the one you own and that you shoot well and enjoying carrying. When the gun fits, the frame size often is not an issue (obviously within reason).

I have just begun using my 3 frame GH 12 for ducks this year. 30" heavy Damascus barrels. Really feels right in a duck blind!

Dean nailed it. It is indeed entirely subjective, especially I think, with the 12ga. For ducks and such a 2 or 3 frame to handle the heavier loads is great. For pheasants over flushing dogs a 1-1/2 or a 2 frame works well, depending on how close the dogs work. Over good pointing dogs and birds that hold, a 1 or 1-1/2 frame works best for me. For quail, chukars, grouse and woodcock in cover, a short 1-frame just can't be beat. I do love my 1-frame, 26" open-choked GHE12 for heavy cover and carrying all day. Oh yeah, it's subjective for sure, and that's why you gotta have a house full!
