H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I hardly ever see them mentioned here in the Wire. I can't be the only one who uses one, can I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kulshan 20262 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I use a Fisher Space pen. Their refills come with an adapter for Parker pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I put in a lot of work getting a Parker DH 12 gauge back together. Got it disassembled in an ammo can. No barrels. I shot it in one match with black powder and brass hulls just to say I did. I trained it this spring for a second generation Colt SAA in 45Colt and got some boot!

Kid Rich Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I have 2 of them and have shot them in a few matches. Love em. They were difficult to disassemble and slick up a little. kR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mother’s family is from Janesville WI, where they were once based. Had Parker pens in grade and high school late 60’s to early 70’s. Haven’t seen them for a while.

Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Saw a few back when I was a relative newbie at some larger matches. That would been in the mid to late 1990's. Maybe have seen a half dozen in 25 years. Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Hacker, #60477 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Shot my12 for a few stages once. Would love to shoot my 10, but just can’t screw up the nerve to shoot it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 No. Not me. But Pedersoli starts with a "P." Doesn't that count?? I still have a Parker Pen laying around somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 No Parker but I started out with a $1200 Savage Fox and the cocking component broke because of throwing empties just like a Parker, ending up with a spare parts shotgun then ... You Will Be Sorry even thinking about using a Parker or paying for about a $500 PLUS repair bill to fabricate a new component. A Parker was not made for cowboy usage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Every once in awhile, I shoot my Parker 8 gauge 4-1/4" at a match instead of my usual 10 gauge 3-1/2". It's not legal but does get a lot of attention. I also bring my Colt .41 Long Colt Thunderer DAs. Lots of fun with Holy Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have two. One with 18" barrels that I inherited from my father. It's absolutely incredible looking. Kicks like a mule though! The other is a 30" one with full chokes in each barrel. Recoil is quite pleasant. Not all that pretty to look at, but mechanically sound. I actually found this one at a store in Maine for 800 bucks. Too good to pass up! Well, recoil was MOSTLY pleasant. When you have that one stubborn knock down that just refuses to fall, getting frustrated and giving it both barrels when shooting black powder may be satisfying, create a lot of boom and smoke, but it kinda hurts. But the target fell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Cherrys.com in Greensboro NC has several starting at $650. Nice selection. I shot a Remington Model 1878 Lifter for several years that I bought there for under $200. Grade I, non-Damascus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
