You know, I am a little embarrassed about it, but I forgot all about the button. Haven't ever had the occasion to change the firing sequence in 40 years.

Agree. Those are two excellent examples of sxs that were quite popular, easy to find on the used market, reasonably priced, and have good single triggers. The SKB's is an inertia trigger. Unless I'm misremembering, the BSS is mechanical. Or were they some of each? I think they used two different ST's.

I used a pair of Winchester Model 23's in Columbia and Argentina in the 80's and 90's and their 23 Heavy Duck with no problems with one exception: if the stock bolt got loose the trigger would act up. This was all high volume shooting with changing of left and right barrels(which to shoot first)often.

The only single trigger shotgun I would own would have a mechanical trigger! I like M21's. Jim

What triggers are not mechanical? I have never seen a shotgun with an electronic trigger.

Are you saying you don't like inertial triggers?

Some Parker Reproduction single triggers had problems. I used my Repro, so eventually I had it changed to DT. I prefer DT and have them on two Beretta O/Us, too.

All down through the years I have always heard single triggers as being either inertia or mechanical. While freely admitting an inertia set is, in fact, mechanical in the strictest sense I would definitely take that was the meaning. I prefer double triggers myself, but if I were to get a single trigger gun I would not want it to be inertia set, an inertia block would be fine.

When they work you never notice triggers but when they fail you just one time you never really trust them again. Kind of like being married to a cheating gun. smile

I can shoot double or single triggers with no problems but I dont like non selective single triggers. I want the freedom to decide which barrel first. Thats part of why I like doubles. Choices. Trigger creep is ok but not fond of light trigger pulls on doubles but dont mind heavy ones up to a point.

I inherited one double with a nine and a half pound trigger pull on the rear barrel and four on the front trigger. Great Uncle, who shot it was a big man, but nine + pounds is a lot. His hands were massive and even at 70 he could do things with strength that most would not attempt. Ever see a man toss full grown hog like a sack of feed? Watched him do it as a boy. The hog did not enjoy it. I sure did.

Found out he carried his gun with his finger on the rear trigger often and had it altered to such a heavy pull. He shot the rear trigger first then moved to the front one if needed. Both barrels were full and ink dot full. Had it reduced to four plus pounds. Left the chokes as they were. Ever see a gun break both wings on a Dove? Ink dot tight is scary in the field.

Give us a break, BrentD. Mechanical triggers are just that, they are mechanically reset by the pull of the first barrel, thus accentuating the action of the second trigger, not requiring an inertia, or recoil mechanism. An inertia trigger requires recoil to render the second trigger effective. A mechanical trigger does not, by nature of the mechanism. Inertia triggers are faster triggers by their nature, as opposed to mechanical. Come on man, study up a bit. You are a Professor, for Lords sake.

Some of the guns Freddy the freeloading BrentD is referring to didn't have barrel selectors.
