Maybe if I won the lottery or something I could have 10 to 12 backup guns haha a 1 frame 20ga with 30" or 32" barrels would be nice i would guess that would be the parker equivalent of a fox he in 20ga but if we are talking lotto money 1 or 2 of them as well wouldn't hurt to much 🤣.

Personally, I think ejectors were the worse idea ever. Single triggers are a close second.

I have to agree with you John but single triggers to me are #1 ahead of ejectors. They have no place on a SxS. When I ordered my Perazzi I asked for double triggers since it's the ultimate barrel selector, but the cost was something like an additional 5 grand so I passed.

I have had trouble with exactly ONE Parker and it was a VHE that failed to eject the left barrel and $$$ later and six month wait I got it fixed. Dan at Giacomo's said he was up for a challenge when he took it, then said that will be the last one he does and, "Now I remember why I stopped working on those damn things." I believe he had to make a part? Might be what Frank was talking about.

No, single triggers are the dumbest.

I just converted a high condition 12/32/VHE to double triggers. Although its Parker single trigger didn’t balk or double fire, and worked OK to shift R-L and L-R, all 4 pulls had varying creep and were inconsistent. OK for hunting I guess but for sporting I’m more of a trigger toucher than a pull through guy. Now it's got crisp 4.4 and 5.3 pound pulls and I couldn't be happier.

Amen brother John.

I had a cherry little Fox 20 gauge AE Grade with an original Kautzky ST that a well-meaning "gun tinkerer" attempted to "adjust for better pulls." Result was a total dumpster fire: loaded and ready to fire, the gun would go off when you took the safety off, and if you switched it to the alternate barrel, it would go off when you closed the gun! I had Dan Rossiter install double triggers, which he luckily had some original stock left. They looked great and the gun worked flawlessly afterwards.

A fox ae 20ga is a really nice sub gun

It's a tough call but I think a single trigger is worst than ejectors. I have turned down many old side by sides because they had single triggers. I sure don't want to pay extra foe either ejectors or a single trigger.

Then why does everyone ask more for ejector guns?
