Good suggestions . . . although SKB made their own guns in Japan (until the recent appearance of Turkish-made SKB's). Miroku, in addition to making the BSS, also made sxs under the Charles Daly name. And quite a few of the Miroku-made Dalys do have double triggers, if that's what you prefer.

German guns are also worth considering. The more basic older guns made by Sauer (either E or W German) or Simson, or Merkel--not so old that they have short chambers, and not the newest Merkels to keep your investment down--are all good bets. And, like the Japanese guns, there are a lot of them on the used market. From Italy, the older Berettas and V. Bernardellis are also worth a look.

Plenty of options out there. Enjoy the hunt!
