atcfisherman, reed2004 has a Parker and another member does to. The Excal Phoenix is either hand, has its safety in the back. Like cocking a Win. 30/30 but its easier. Doesn't have any dryfire on it. Its a great CB, i have one. So fer the only other CB i could afford that i would buy is the Ten Pt. Pro-Fusion. Now i would buy any Excal, but i was talking of the wheeled type. You should get some other advice shortly![]
