Stan, I think we agree that the best quality of Turkish guns is their price. But if buyers have to spend more than the price to get decent triggers and no one bothers to tell them why that might happen--and how they might know whether they're going to have to spend an extra $100 or so--it seems to me we're not doing our job as more experienced voices when it comes to doubleguns as we might be. That's the kind of advice that potential buyers are looking for. Snap caps aren't all that expensive. And checking triggers isn't rocket science. If a dealer has several Turkish guns, the buyer might well find one with trigger pulls that are OK with him. Otherwise, that buyer may have to find a gunsmith who is willing to work on triggers and does a decent job. I have a local smith who is great on opening chokes if necessary, and turns guns around very quickly. But he doesn't do trigger work on doubles.
Given that Turkish guns are typically entry level buys if someone is just dipping his toes into the doublegun pool, it seems wise to advise them of a potential problem on a gun that might otherwise be a good buy.
After hearing accusations that writers don't do enough to print the negative side of gun x, y, or z that readers are considering buying, I would rather err on the side of caution.
