Some Perazzis did in fact come with two triggers. Before the barrel selective trigger was available the combo guns, a top single and an O/U, two triggers were standard issue as the O/U usually fired the bottom barrel first and on the same action the top single ....
But it was and still is possible to get the O/U with a top first configuration, or a bottom single, and any sort of trigger you might want along with a variety of rib types both side and top.
Top first O/U's have a strange rep in the US seemingly originating with people who are delusional or possessed of a nervous system to sensitive that I wonder how they function in the modern world. And too, seemingly ignorant of just what a single barrel trap gun represents.
I have a couple top first guns and a couple with selectable triggers that can be shot as top first and to my insensitive clod-like system there is no discernible difference. I'm sure that's just me.
I have put tens of thousands of rounds thru the guns I have. The "high" maintenance around here amounts to a fuzzy stick and a wipe down before they go in the bag and a quick touch up on the lube before they get shot. The really high maint is once a year +/- each gets disassembled and cleaned/lubed.
I can hardly keep up the pace is so furious and I can't even tell you how much sleep I've lost worrying about the guns breaking down!
Stan - IMO your MX8 needs some attention to the fitting of the forend lug/iron. There is no reason for a gun to be that tight as it serves no purpose. Seriously.
AFA the CA SxS thing goes, I lost interest. I appreciate the note but no thanks.
