Absolutely love the Parker safety. Having struggled to work the safety on many guns in brutal cold conditions ( I am notorious for not liking gloves and hesitate to even use thin ones), I am considering the option of building Parker style safety slides for every double I own.

Update: Griffin and Howe refunded my purchase price, but not the shipping. I had requested reimbursement for shipping costs both ways since they sold me a gun that had previously failed safety inspection by another member here.

So I basically spent $130 to do their job of proper inspection for them, a dandy penalty for trusting them. They have a full gunsmithing department. The gun was stored at the gunsmithing department when I called to buy it. This isn't good. It chaps me that they sold this gun after it had failed inspection only a couple months earlier. My trust and confidence is history when an established company makes me pay for their mistake.

Keep an eye out to see if serial# 97138 comes up for sale a third time.

Go back and look at the muzzle photo. Notice how much thinner the wall is "inside" where it can't be measured? That wall is much thinner than along the bottom rib, where I could measure it and measured well below minimum.
