Hi all, just was wondering what type of Single Selective Trigger do you perfer?

"Beretta"Type

Button on/near Trigger

Shift Type (sliding the safety)

Also, why do you perfer them?

I like the button then the Beretta - easier to use and won't get effect getting the safety off.

Have Fun!!!

I like the Browning type best. More people that I have shot with seem to be confused by the Beretta. The Remington 3200 was another good one, IMO. On SxS guns, I absolutely prefer two triggers. I can live with a selective single on O/Us because two triggers are so rare on them.

The Miller. Oldie but goody.

I have not yet found a SST that I change barrels when a particular shot presents itself while hunting, occasionally I change when using a 2 trigger gun. I think the coolest is the Browning double/single my Dad had one that my brother now owns and that is the best system I have seen.

I absolutely prefer the 19th century technology of a 2 trigger gun. Maybe I am just a hard head and am having difficulty adjusting to the technology of the 20th century. I even sold a lovely NID Grade 2E with a Miller SST because it just irritated me.

That being said, If I have to have a double with a SST, I prefer the Miller. I much prefer the selection to be in the safety. If I recall, on that NID, if you slide "off safe" forward, the right barrel shot first. Rearward, the left barrel fired first.

But I still like DT's best.

On my SxSs I much prefer the button in the trigger/trigger guard - as in the M-21, Ithaca-SKB and BSS. I use it pretty often when my springer is pushing a running pheasant and the flush is likely to come at tighter barrel range. In these situations I'm usually moving briskly to keep pace - so as not to stop the dog too often - and don't like to mess with a barrel selector that brings the safety into play.

Remington 3200 was a very nice trigger on a O/U.

I perfeer a double single trigger over the single single trigger.
Doubles should have two triggers. Those who do not are often more troble than they are worth. What type of single trigger should a double have? One single for the left barrel and a second single for the right barrel. My perfect single - pair. Miller made a decent single single trigger but why handicap yourself that much? Two are better than one.

I don't like single triggers at all, had it removed from my Beretta 686 and doubles installed. But I agree with Jeff G., the Browning double/single is a great idea. Hope to find one someday.

I prefer the Browning type with the button because I believe it is the most reliable purely mechanical single trigger around, but I say that having never had a problem with any of them. I have no problem with the Winchester 23 either. The actual placement of the selector is practically a moot point with me. If I am flushing birds I leave it on open then tighter, if I am shooting doves I generally have plenty of time if I want to switch. For ducks I usually use two fulls anyway.
I just sold my old double trigger Rossi duck double because I must have changed something and the trigger guard started eating me up with heavy loads. Got a new Stevens with a single trigger and no problem.

I much prefer a single non-selective trigger for each barrel, i. e. double triggers! They're flawless in operation, and choke selection is instantaneous. -- Ed
