My VH has a single trigger. The trigger selector is mounted on the stock behind the barrel release lever--it has a slide selector which starts at "L" on the bottom, slides to "S" in the middle and goes to "R" at the top

Does this suggest what "brand" of single trigger it is?

Thanks,

Linn

INFALLIBLE SINGLE TRIGGER
 
My Peck's Bad Boy lifter gun has a non-selective Infallible Single Trigger. It has a slot for a switch but the switch is missing and trigger works perfectly. Does anyone know where I might locate some technical information on Infallible Triggers ... And a gunsmith with a working knowledge of Infallible Triggers ?

Linn,
Your description is of an early Miller Selective trigger. The barrel selection was integrated into the Safety by Miller. These are my favorite Miller triggers. Some despise them for the rough stamping of R/L that Miller put on top tang of the Parker gun. They work very well and I consider them a premium on a Parker gun.

i have a 12 ga trojan with a miller that has the rocker selector in front of the trigger, i like this ,it is ez to get at and the trigger is nice and wide for your finger to fit on it with or with out a glove on, scott

So let me see if I have this right. There are three variations of the Miller single trigger. 1)Slide selector mounted rear of opening lever.2)Non-selective trigger3)Safety slide mounted selector. Did Miller ever use a trigger plate mounted selector similar to Parker?

Jim K...I would think Dave Noreen would have some info on the Infallable trigger.

Linn: does your trigger look like this Infallible?

The tang safety slide is the barrel selector for (one of) the Millers

Yes to Drew's photos of the Parkers with the two versions of PArker SST's. Nice photos showing the minor differences. What I had was the first one made to look like the second with a dummy screw and a person wouold not know unless the gun was disassembled. It worked fine for me. I talked to Lawrence DelGrego about the differences and what I was told was that the later model was less subject to wear, although I do not remember the explanation. But the original SST was capable of firing for tens of thousands of rounds before trigger work would be needed. The keys to Parker SST's are do not mess with them and do not lubricate them.

Jim: you might check with Abe Chaber Danbury, CT 203-748-1830 regarding your Infallible

Drew--mine looks like the middle picture that you included in your post above. Thank you
