Found one of the ultra rare 3-3/8 Wyoming 10mm Parkers for sale in a local shop today. It's cheap it's small for a 10mm but is it some thing to seriously look at?
First concern no ramp barrel second is just the overall fit and finish it just kinda looked cheap the third is can you find parts.
Could likely bring it home for $300 so what say you guys??

Honestly I'd buy it. I've nearly bought the midsize for $600 I did some research and apparently the founder still makes parts to keep the guns running.

Thanks for that anybody else got anything here?

In the end here I have decided to walk away from this one. Reason being while I have seen a couple positive reviews on the more common long slide version of this pistol, every single comment I have found on the subcompact version is not a positive one. In particular these look so unreliable and prone to jamming that it would be useless as anything other than a collectable oddity.
It's still available so if any of you guys have some positive input on the subcompact version let's hear it other wise I am going to leave this one alone.

Old actually early 90's I believe. It is more of a collectors item than a carry gun. I do want one though.

For a small 10mm I would rather have a Glock. Everything I have heard about them has been less than stellar. I'm sure some people have had good guns but for me I will pass.

We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America, but we haven't got a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located.

Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration.

I have a Parker 10mm with a 3 3/8 barrel.  I shoot it often and have rarely, perhaps twice, had a malfunction.  Both were due to the ammo.  The Parkers were made for a full house load and require real 10mm loading to function.  My pistol is extremely accurate.  Contrary to what is common reasoning the longer Parkers have more friction and are more likely jam.  There are a couple of odd aspects to this pistol.  One is that when you take off the slide parts fly out.  The other is that on my pistol it is possible to resemble the pistol without the locking pin in the link.  The Parker is a rare pistol from a time when a pistol that wouldn't rust was a good thing.  Mine has been accurate and reliable and feels right in my hand.  It has been a great shooter in 10mm for the money.
