At $2300 it darn well better have a good single trigger. If buyers have to have a trigger job done on a brand new gun of that price it will be a killer for sales, IMO. I can stand having to do a little work on a $500 gun's trigger, but not at that price level. For $250 more than that I bought a 31 1/2" used MX8, about 8-9 years ago, in 90% condition. And it has a trigger all others aspire to.
Stan, the S&W side by sides were initially offered for about the same price--and the early ones didn't have very good triggers. That seems to have been remedied on the later ones, especially the double trigger models. (The one that I initially field tested was ST, as was the one Bruce Buck field tested--and we both found heavy triggers.) I've also encountered that issue on some Dickinsons, although they're priced more like mid-$1K range rather than mid-$2K. Agree, given the price of good trigger work--and the fact that you never know whether a trigger adjustment will work until the gunsmith has the parts in his hand to look over and work on--that either of those guns ought to come from the maker with acceptable pulls. Crisp, and at least no heavier than the weight of the gun in question.
