So I have accepted that I am the last person on earth who still prefers a SxS gun to be set up the way most of the American made guns were over 100 years ago - DT and a pistol grip. Now those 2 features almost never go together; the few that are available with DT will always have a straight stock. Some have told me that it's easier to move from one trigger to the other with a straight stock, but I have not found that to be true for me. Maybe it's because I have long, skinny fingers, but it's no issue at all for me to shoot a DT gun with a pistol grip stock, and a pistol grip fits my hand much better and allows me far better control of the gun.
I would like to hear everyone's reasoning for why the straight stock is your preference. It seems that some even want a straight stock on a ST gun, so there must be more to it than it supposedly being easier for switching triggers than a DT gun.
Why do you prefer a SxS gun with a straight stock? Is there really any advantage to it, or is it just looks/ tradition/ peer pressure/ whatever? I would just like to understand why I am completely out of the mainstream on this. Thanks for any replies
