FWIW, the first two days of last fall's pheasant season here in Maine, I ran into one guy (middle-aged) hunting behind a Gordon with a Parker (and not a low-end one), and another, youngish (in his 30s, I guess) with a Model 21. The latter, I kinda took a dislike to b/c when I asked him what his gun was and complemented it, he said "It's a model 21. I had it made." That, and he had a way-too-shiny new red pickup truck with out of state plates and a clear air of superiority.
Of course, the guy with the Gordon I liked more because my Gordon got to play with his for a couple minutes while he admired my Simson in return.
And a couple weeks ago at the trap range, one of the younger guys was shooting - and pretty well - with a very well-maintained Parker he said he'd gotten from his grandfather.
