Galco makes a very nice leather pad with a Velcro fastener. The advantage over lace-up style is that I can move it easily from gun to gun, and remove when I place in the cabinet.

Sweet 16 Brett! Congrats but be careful. Parker guns are addictive.

I have used leather slip-on, Velcro closed recoil pads on my Parkers for years. A couple of different sizes work well for various guns; the pads add just enough length of pull; the pads protect the gun's butt; and, they can be switched for gun to gun. However, I always remove the pad at the end of the day.

Yeah, do not leave them on the gun when not shooting. Not good for the wood finish long term. Galzan sells some attractive looking leather “slip-on” style pads. The most important thing os getting one that is properly sized for the butt on your gun.

as said fit is important - measure carefully - I have both makers and both work very well
Galco if you find one, they often out of stock, but the look and finish is top shelf https://www.galcogunleather.com/reco...8_12_1244.html Gallazan's is a real close second - well made but I think the look is a little less crisp on a nice gun https://www.csmcspecials.com/Gamekee...Pad_p/slip.htm here are pics - the Galco first

Thank you, gentlemen, that is exactly what I was looking for.
Now as far as measuring the size, how should I consider the additional padding Dean mentioned? If I want to add an inch of padding inside the leather, should I go up one size as the butt will be an inch short of the end of the pad? Brett |

the size is the height and width of the butt
so cut your padding, I think I would use thick felt and then measure that as the new butt's end - size to that remember - the leather boot is already padded - i'd have to check but I think they are about a half inch - so you will not be adding that much you may find the boot to be enough extra

Leather slip on Pad
Hi Brett, I prefer the Velcro type over the lace-up just for the ease of taking off and on. The small and med sizes have always worked best for me because over time they stretch and you don't want them flopping around. Also old mouse pads work great for getting some extra LOP. Just cut one to fit inside and add what you need.
