Dumb ass question: You pull, then RELEASE the trigger to fire, right? What if the trap malfunctions or you don't want to fire, do you walk into the woods and point it a tree to release/fire into it? Sounds dangerous as all hell to me.

Yes, pull the trigger and then release to fire. If you don't shoot, you breach the gun and every things good. They are a God send for those who have developed a bad flinch. But yes, they scare the hell out of me.

I like the Go Fund Me idea! If I had seen that gun 20 years ago I might have considered it but never was a fan of Anton's stocks, they just don't look right. Andy, if it's a top lever gun, just hold the trigger back and with the other hand open the gun's top lever, that resets the sear. On a pump, push the slide release button, and on a semi there is a tab next to the trigger group that you push to reset the release. I'm never going back to release. My brain would be too confused switching back and forth between release and pull.

When you first set it I guess you’d say you hear a distinct sound or atleast that’s been my experience . My friend that owned the TM1 at that time had just won the VA State Handicap title with the gun .

They're just not natural. Like skeet shooting.

I think the gun is a patent model. Unfortunately, the wood was changed to an Anton buttstock and who knows whose forend. If the gun still has a release trigger that works, it is an interesting artifact. I thought Chuck was still shooting a release. I guess not.

Thanks for clarification on the release triggers. I don't want to be near anyone using one for the first time I can tell you that.

Bill, ever see a Parker sxs with a release? I corresponded with a guy that had a Parker BHE that someone in the past had converted to a single trigger, then to a release.. He had DelGrego convert it back to double trigger. Think of the cost to convert Parkers to release!
