Count me as a serious shooter whose single trigger Merkel 201E with barrel sets in 20 and 28 has never had a trigger failure. One trip to the smith in the last 30 years for a broken spring. it has been my go to gun for dove, quail, grouse and partridge. At one time I had an AYA, I think the model designation was Coral, in 12 gauge that was also very reliable although a bit heavy.
