I've got a bunch of 16 ga. O-frames too.
Aside from 28 gauge guns they are the best carrying guns Parker made... IMHO

My wife says I have a "problem"! So I went to the Southern and Hausmann's for counseling. "Didn't really help" she says! I'll have to go back and try again.

This has probably been discussed on here a few times. I think probably one of the most famous 16 gauge shooters ever preferred a Parker. I read an article about her shooting with that Parker years ago. Also saw an article about her gun selling at close to $300k and it also referenced information in article that this organization provided on the gun from factory records. Seems gun was restocked 2 times in just a few year period.

Ya know I always wondered about these expert shots and this stuff about gunfitting. Got to see Tom Knapp once. That guy, like what I understand about Annie Oakley, could shoot just about anything well, no matter how it fit them.

That is a good looking bevy of 16 gauges. As a matter of fact I think the hammer 16 GH is same grade gun she had.

Here's a bit of a Rare Pair ,A 16 Ga. 32" Twist and a 22" Twist , both letter accordingly ! The 22"Barreled gun is a joy to carry ! The 32" is a 1 Frame and the 22" is an O Frame !

Every time I have shot a 0 frame 16g (with RSTs), I am always surprised at how low the felt recoil is. I always think it will be more.

What is the difference in weight from say a similar barreled 16 gauge between a 1 or 0 Frame.
