How sweet I was sure there was no such a thing as a fine hammer gun made by Parker...did her hammers come back like they were hooked to axle springs or were they mushy feeling ? (Compared to the L.C. Smith I bet she was sweet handling).

I've shot some pre-war shotgun ammo that had lost most of it's velocity might be why you were having trouble killing with it.
