I did not buy it and I believe the KTP still has the gun. They want $1095 for it which I take is a little bit high for what it is. However it is an "honest" and solid Elsie hammer 10 that someone would/will enjoy.

Steven, I am a recent convert to the 10 ga. I happened to get one from another PGCA member, then I found another at a gun show last month.
Last wekend I went on a pheasant hunt with 3 parkers. A VH12, A grade 2 10ga. hammerless and a grade 1 10ga. hammered. The 10s shot better than the 12. better swing and less recoil. I was shooting RST low pressure loads of
1 1/4 oz 7 1/2 shot in all guns. The extra weight takes up a lot of recoil. I am now a convert. I dont have $600.00 in either 10ga.
Like the old TV ad said "try it, you'l like it"

Thanks Paul, I'm going to keep my eye peeled for one.

I just shot my 12 GH with Polywad one oz 2.5" shells and was surprised how much the gun kicked. It is a #2 frame and it must weight 8 lbs. Not only that, but the full chokes are extremely tight, gun made in 1896. It didn't hurt to shoot the gun, but I thought that those Polywad shells would shoot noticebly softer. Not so, not in the least.

Steve, there are a few on gunbroker. I was just looking at them, but alas my extra funds are allocated twards my vacation go Seattle next month ( boy do I wish my dad would travel to me) (I hate the rain)

Steve, Get a 10 and you will not regret it. You should be able to find a good Parker 10 for around $1000 if you watch Gunbroker for a little while.
