The "twin-single" triggers do function; at least on my 37 Super. The two triggers fired in sequence front to rear or the reverse exactly duplicate the performance of two simple (double) triggers but in the method of employment Buzz describes, each functions as a single-non-selective trigger. The choice of which one to use AS a SNST does actually "select" for first barrel. For example, you could choose to fire both barrels with the rear trigger and the order of fire would be top barrel then lower; choose to use the front trigger and the order would be botton barrel first and then top. Ned Schwing mentions that Val Browning put a good deal of effort into the development of a reliable inertia block SST (with combination selecter/safety on the tang) and once he had what he wanted, simple double triggers and the "twin-single" were no longer offered. I can't see why one of these triggers would be more complicated than any SNST but two of them in one gun would mean twice the labour and increased cost of production.
