Parkers are an addiction, hammer parkers are even a worse addiction. They are beautiful with them hammers sticking up. Dave

Of all the guns (that I actually could have purchased) that I have passed up over the years - the only one that keeps me rethinking my decision was a Parker hammer gun.

Thanks for opening the wound

I too love well sculpted hammers framing the grouse I am about to miss. I think it was Gene Hill who said that he couldn't shoot good at least he could look good shooting.

From another point of view.

If I had to do it all over again. I would only own Parker hammer guns.
From a clay shooters perspective they are more reliable, more easily fixed/ repaired, and just plain cool.
IMHO it is the Parker hammer gun that is the "Old Reliable".
Not to say anything negative about the hammerless guns. Everyone knows I love them. But for me the hammer guns have proved much more reliable and easily repaired when need be.

Mr C,
Hands down the hammer gun.

John

I would choose the hammer gun. However, lucky for me, Linda chose the AHE, so both will reside in the same safe. Where do we send the checks?
