Received my parker letter on a VH 16 gauge O frame and as you see the chokes are backwards? The triggers are also backwards. This can't be to common. Kinda nice since I'm left handed!

Now thats awesome! Wonder if it could be done with a standard set up.

That is a rare find. Wish it was mine. I have had triggers reversed on a 16ga. hammer gun so the left hammer is fired by the front trigger. Works great for hunting. Thank goodness we are in our right mind.

As a lefty it was fought with peril to shoot with gloves on! I have doubled numerous times!

Rare? The reversed chokes, not so much. The combination of reversed chokes and reversed triggers, incredibly rare.

I drove through Congamond an hour ago. It's about 10 miles north of me. People who live 11 miles away have never heard of it.

Any pics of how the triggers are set up?

Am I correct in thinking the front trigger fires the left or open barrel and the rear trigger fires the right more tight barrel ?

yes front trigger fires the left more open choke left barrel.

Oh nice! So left then right, have you noticed any difference in recoil and target acquiring with this set up? To be honest I don’t think I have ever used the right barrel first, I m so use to right then left I’m not sure how I would react with the opposite! Is the stock cast on?

Only backwards for a righty, I would like to know if the triggers were modified or swapped. Edgar Spencer and I had a discussion about this at Addieville a few weeks ago. It appears as though the triggers were swapped, is that possible without modification? Perhaps Mr. Dudley will answer?

I just tried to swap my trojan triggers, they would have to be modified as the front trigger interferes with the rear trigger when placed backwards

I've never given this much thought until now but being a lefty myself I've shot just about everything designed for righties. The standard trigger setup being on the left and rearward is actually perfect for me as a southpaw. Firing the right barrel first directs the recoil more in line with the center of my body.
