Default MILLER SINGLE TRIGGER

I have a question on the Miller Single trigger setup on a Parker. Did it always use the safety for barrel selection, or were their different versions of this? And was the safety selection setup reliable? Thanks, Steve

The early Miller single selective triggers used the safety as the selector, with SAFE in the middle, right/left foreward and and left/right back. Same as the Miller and later Howland single selective triggers on the NID Ithacas. Later Miller single selective triggers had a rocker switch selector at the front of the trigger, and the safety was a conventional two position. As far as I know the safety selector was quite satisfactory, and to my way of thinking is the only selector that could actually be used on the flush.

Steve , Just FYI , The Miller Trigger Co. is still in business ,I recently sent a Parker Gun up to have a Trigger looked at ,seems a novice had disassembled the Trigger at some point and didn't put it back together correctly , the guys could have told me anything ,I had no idea what the problem was ,they explained the problem ,repaired it with very minimal cost and turned the gun around very promptly ,I was very impressed with their professionalism , and greatly enjoyed speaking with Dan ,this was the Gentleman who always seemed to answer the calls ! Their contact info. is ,Daniel May ,or Kenneth Waite III ,and their Shop Phone # 315 626 2605 ,and their Cell ,315 529 1518 ! Best ; Russ

Default Miller

Guys- The reason I asked the question is because I am looking at a 1926 DHE 12 Gauge with 26 " barrels and open chokes which has a miller single trigger installed. I knew nothing about the Miller so I thought I would ask. Thanks to all for the information, Steve

The Miller Trigger is the best single trigger found on American guns, period. It is far simpler and more reliable with better pulls than the Parker, Kautzky and Hunter One triggers, it often replaced. Just my HO.
