I just received the Parker pistol and man is it a shooter. 1 inch group at 30 yards no problem. I tested 240 grain .50 cal PA conical made by hornady and they are a perfect match for the pistol. They fit nice and tight so it will never move forward from the powder. I shot up to 50 grains of FFF with very little recoil. Despite the heavy barrel and length the pistol is very light. I plan on carrying it during the Pa archery muzzleloader deer overlap season to use as a finishing pistol if necessary. Heck with a 50 grain charge and a240 grain conical or heavier it will kill a deer out to 50 yds no problem according to the Taylor knockdown calculator. with the heavy powder charge it does shoot a few inches high so I might put a taller front blade sight on it at some point but for now it is a blast to shoot.
