I don’t pursue Parker reproductions. When I see them at a gun show, I don’t usually even pick them up. None of my friends that shoot own them.
I’ve seen three, and have a photo of one.
Take it for what it is.

Now here's a man that speaks from experience.
Perhaps you misunderstood what I was saying. I have seen three Parker Reproductions THAT FAILED, exactly like this, and I grabbed a photo of one when I had the chance. The point I was trying to make is I don’t have a dog in this fight, just a bit of evidence.
When they first came out, I looked a bit at them, but, that was before the steep discounts when they were discontinued. The single trigger versions had a horrible trigger, a buddy referred to it as “crunchy”, as good a description as I could come up with. That little experiment, on Parker Reproduction single triggers, went on for far, far, more than 3 guns.
The late Don Thompson had them stacked like cordwood, new in the box, on his tables at the end when he did local shows. I never got the bug, the concept of a reproduction seemed like a good idea, but, I had other interests.
The Prof has zero evidence, of anything related to a Parker Reproduction, but, runs his yap, anyway.
Take that for what it is, as well.
Best,
Ted
