I went and looked at my sheet of all Parkers I have and have owned. With the exception of one hammer gun from 1882, none have a drop of 3" - all are less. Keep in mind I bought them all with no regard to stock drop.

Think about your body, then think of 1/2" - it's hardly anything.

If you took the world's best skeet shooter, or clays shooter, and gave him only one gun with 3" drop to shoot...in a week or shooting he'd be just as good as he was with 2" drop.
