So if my major concern is about more wear on the right lock should I just not worry about it and shoot the right barrel only? Without a doubt, it is more comfortable and I shoot better.

However, I could learn to alternate barrels/locks if it would distribute the wear on the locks more evenly. I really think a little more practice would help. For me it's just starting with the left barrel/back trigger. I don't have any issues shooting doubles at sporting clays or when I am hunting.

I don’t worry about it I shoot whatever works for me if something wears out you can either build up the part and machine it back or make a whole new part . But I doubt seriously that I ever shoot any one gun enough to wear it out in any way .

'Trap is enough of a mind game without worrying about stuff like that. "

I agree wholly with that statement, so for me, I am going to shoot the trigger that is most comfortable to me, and gives me more confidence. That gun has already probably fired exponentially more rounds from the right barrel with God only knows what loads. Unlikely a few hundred rounds of trap is going to make a measurable mark on the gun.

How many of you guys shoot anything but the bottom barrel of an O/U at trap?
