Me too, Stan. For many years I shot Parkers, Foxes, and Smiths with double triggers with zero problems. I have no problem either switching between single and double triggers. These days, most of my shooting is done with single selective trigger guns.

Your statement about instant choke selection being overrated is about as spot-on true as anything I've read lately on these shooting forums. Very astute observation.

I fully agree that single triggers are very functional and dependable. And as is true of most of us who shoot both a lot, switching back forth is an exercise which doesn't weven require thought. However, I frankly think having instantly available chokes is actually an underated and underutilized advantage. Like using a double trigger, picking the barrel for the shot is something that takes a little practice and is viable in a weapon choked like a traditional game gune - fairly open and fairly tight. The fact that we don't always take advantage of the capability doesn't mean it isn't there.
