If I was carrying my gun on a hunt I’d sure rather carry the 1 1/2 frame. If I was in a duck blind or turkey blind I’d prefer the 3 frame...

Another testament to Parker craftsmen.

Did other American double makers have the multiple frame size options Parker did?

None had as many as Parker -- by far they had more different frame sizes.

It’s amazing to me that at one time in our country we were that service oriented to provide that many options. I collect classic cars too and I see the same multitude of options that were available to customers back then. We have really changed.
