I've owned both a launch edition RBL and several Parker repro's. The RBL is long gone and the repro's are still in the safe and being shot on a regular basis.

I'll take the repro any day over the RBL. I do admire Tony for what he's doing, but the RBL just isn't my cup of tea. At least I tried the tea first before I said I didn't like it.

Chuck I'll bet your repro will be a Japanese,German,American whore.
