Zachariah Smith 70528 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Why do I think I need a double trigger SXS? I now use a BSS and an SKB, both single trigger. Must just be wanting a new “Shinny Object”? Please talk me out of spending more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G. I. Tarpicker, SASS #998 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I think you'll find a double trigger gun to be a very enjoyable gun. Front trigger fires right barrel, rear trigger fires the left. Normally the right barrel has the more open choke and is fired first. It's very easy to get used to sliding the firing hand back very slightly to make it easier to pick up the rear trigger. With practice a double trigger gun can be fired nearly as fast as one with a single trigger. The other advantage of a double trigger gun is instant choice of chokes. Of course, if one trigger quits working for some reason, you still have the other half of the gun to get you out of trouble. Do you plan to hunt with the gun, or is it only going to be used for CAS? In any case, buena suerte. GIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin Gun For Hire Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I like my new Stoeger. It will take some time for the muscle memory to kick in but after that I'm hoping my times will improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I have two side by sides with two triggers and love them both! One with hammers, one without. I'm think you need two new shotguns, not just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the triggers setup like this the front trigger is pulled the finger can easily slip straight back to the rear which is now on the right side. You don't have to reach around the front trigger to get to the back trigger. I think this is a faster setup than even the single trigger guns because you don't have to let up on the trigger to get a reset required of the single trigger gun. This setup can make it seem almost like both trigger were pulled at the same time. gun with the triggers switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil dogooder Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 If you use two fingers you can shoot a double faster than a single trigger. Most times makeing it sound as one shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zachariah Smith 70528 Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Thanks all. I’m trying not to spend my limited amount of money on guns that just draw dust but there are so many out there that catch my eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I just had the extreme good fortune of adding an A. H. Fox Sterlingworth 12 gauge side by side with double triggers to my collection. It was made in 1926 in Philadelphia and still locks up tight, bores are mirrors. I used it yesterday in a monthly match and it was really a delight to use an American made gun nearly 100 years old. It functioned perfectly. It is a light and lively field gun, not as heavy as the Savage Fox or Stevens 311. With some shopping you can find these in the $500 to $600 range. http://www.gunbroker.com/All/BI.aspx?Keywords=sterlingworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Double trigger Baikal if ya can find one. Rock solid, easy to do the trigger swap Nate mentions, (disable the auto safety while yer in there)and google the cocking lever mods (Mohave gambler article) to make it open wider. I bought one NIB from a fellow shooter for $225 and it has been flawless for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollifer A. Dollar Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Having 2 triggers means you can let fly with both barrels, when needed, to take care of those stubborn knockdowns...you know, the ones that just wouldn't drop after that first shot (that went right over the top).

Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 My suggestion is a Daly 500 made by Miroku. It's the one that became the Browning BSS and early SKB's. Does not need much work as has extractors (BSS has ejectors). Chrome lined barrels. Goes for about $6-700 in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
