I would not dismiss the value of having a third shot, as a long time waterfowler I can tell you a third shell in the gun can be very handy in the event of a swimming cripple. It can be the difference between retrieving or losing a bird. A third shot can also be used effectively on decoying geese (when the limit allows more than 2 birds) because they can't get away from the decoys that fast. With that said, I prefer old doubles for the same reason most of you do. I was up to Cabela's in Scarborough last week, I don't think they had ten used double guns in their Gun Library.
