In adding to the last post, I do have other shotguns with single triggers. One is an older Winchester 101 20 ga. This trigger is recoil operated and could be a bad thing when shooting clays. I don't think most are capable to select the other barrel when this happens. The other is a Beretta BL-4 in 28 ga. I believe this trigger is also recoil operated as I have not shot it in quite a while .For both and for the L.C. Smith's with the HOT trigger I can honestly say that I have never selected which trigger to shoot first. There are probably some instances in Sporting Clays that a far away first shot would be advisable to use the left barrel or over barrel first and then for the rabbit or short crosser the right barrel, but I have never done that and maybe I have with a double triggered gun.
Both of the o/u's single trigger have performed well in skeet, sporting clays and field use. I have never taken these apart to see the workings.
