I am in the market for a double barrel (SXS) and have been wrestling with the concept one trigger versus two. After seeing this video, I am going to keep it traditional and opt for double triggers. Thanks for the video.

I’m glad you found the video helpful! Good luck in your search!

The best part of a double trigger is that you have your choice of chokes. If you are slow or the bird is far away, you just pull the rear trigger. No thought to it. You make the choice as the gun comes up. You brush the front trigger and pull the rear trigger. You get totally used to it if you use the gun a lot. Plus, it’s cool.

Absolutely! Takes very little time to get used to using a double trigger over a single trigger.

All the advantages of the double trigger gun that you mentioned are correct, even though they have more complicated mechanism than a single trigger shotgun.

Plus what's nice with double triggers you can fire both at the same time making a home intruder very dead

Thank you i am new to target shooting and i am looking to purchase a over and under shotgun and did not know what a dbl trigger was like. this really helped me to confirm the gun i am going to purchase for skeet shooting once again thank you

With the double trigger you can also choose to shot either Slug or Birdshot depending on the situation.

Thanks for this! Currently shopping for my first gun. Noticed the difference between some Winchesters on the market and some comparable English guns and this has really helped me decide. I still really like the winchesters, maybe that'll be my second gun but I think I'm going for an English side by side with the 2 triggers. Thanks again!

Thanks for watching! I’m glad it helped!

My 2 fave guns are my winchester mod 21s 12 and 20 English stock double triggers. Won my state sporting clays championship (side by side) class 18 years ago..

So it's as I thought, I've only ever used a 2 trigger shotgun, and I was thinking that a single trigger would be a 2 stage trigger, but then I heard someone say barrel selector and thought hmm, you have to manually select the barrel? That is not for me! So a 2 trigger over under is what I want. Thank you for clarifying this for me.

@@thegeorgiasportsman9570 Hi, would you know if all single trigger double barrel shotguns only use a selector switch or is there a type with a single trigger that automatically selects after the first shot?

@thegeorgiasportsman9570

Hi! There are some single trigger shotguns that do not have a trigger selector but they are not very common. Usually, shotguns with fixed chokes (such as skeet/skeet) will not have a selector since they are the same regardless of which barrel fires. You may occasionally find a custom made gun that has two different choked barrels but again, they aren’t very common- especially these days.

Always confused about this, thanks for the explanation! Are double barrel (like in the video) available in India for private ?

One reason I like double triggers is because usually the second one requires much less effort which allows me for more precise aiming.

Love the double trigger...

Great video.... I'm just starting out in the sport, looking to do sporting clays... So budget is small, sub $500. I would love a SXS with double triggers but was steered away, as used SXS or O/U might "explode in your face"... And perhaps why the cheaper ones are advertised as "display only"... :-)... Would I be better getting a used Remington Semi... and save up for a nice double trigger... What would you recommend? Thanks!

Buster, I doubt a double will explode so long the ammunition is used that is was made for. Strangely, although most people want O/Us these days, SxS is far more expensive. My best recommendation is to shoot a gun you are comfortable with. Shooting is more about the shooters and less about the equipment, although most people enjoy shooting more with nicer equipment. No one should look down on you for shooting a Remington, and if they do I wouldn’t shoot with them again because they aren’t the quality I want to spend my time with.

Hello, I apologize for the late reply. Your question is simple, but please bear with me because the reply is lengthy. Many people first get into shooting with guns that are considered inexpensive. This is not necessarily bad though. A shotgun is a smooth bore firearm and frankly, will function reliably no matter whether you use it for occasional hunting or competition. Many people I talk to have guns they would never sell because you cannot put a price on nostalgia and memories. They have their fathers, grandfathers, and even great grandfathers shotgun with memories of them hunting with the gun. It is almost always a “cheap” Sears Roebuck or Ithaca, or something of that nature. While considered “cheap” and perhaps worth only a few hundred dollars, to them, the shotgun is priceless. For me that is far greater an importance than whether someone paid $20,000+ for a shotgun. My recommendation is that don’t settle for a gun that doesn’t suit you. Find a gun that pulls at your heart strings and shoot the heck out of it. If all you can afford is a $300 pump but you like it and it suits your needs, be happy with it and never let anyone snub their nose because it is a “cheap” gun. To quote a gun owner from an article I recently read: “ gun collecting is like growing up. At first you buy what others tell you to, but at some point you decide what you like.”

My first gun was an Ithaca 20 gauge that kicked like a mule. It’s probably worth $200 but I’ll never sell it. I killed more quail, rabbits, and squirrel with that little side by side than I can even remember. And the memories I have with that gun are worth too much for me to ever sell it.

Thank you for your informative tube, I like double trigger. Would you advise me which one is the best for over under Turkish shotguns?

Hi Guys. Question please. When I pull the front trigger on my CZ Bobwhite G2, the trigger guard slams into my middle finger and it’s very uncomfortable. What am I doing wrong and how can I correct this? Thanks. Love the gun.

@thegeorgiasportsman9570

Most likely this is due to the firearm length of pull being too short for you. The cheapest way to remedy this is to add an extended butt pad or a trigger guard rubber “bumper.” The other option is much more expensive and that is to get it restocked to your dimensions.

can a single trigger fire side-by-side barrels at the same time like in the video game doom 3?

@thegeorgiasportsman9570

4 ай бұрын

Perhaps if the gun was modified it may be possible. A normal and properly functioning firearm with a single trigger fires only one barrel at a time.

My buddy is inheriting a few rifles and will be passing down a 16 gauge, side by side. I have know idea who the maker is or what year it was made … hopefully it’s a double trigger🙏
