Another Interesting One On GB
 

There’s an interesting SC on GunBroker, item #924199411. It’s a decent old girl. Been restocked. What’s intriguing is it’s stamped on the right side of the receiver, “Dr Pollard’s Relaxing Trigger Pull, Patent Applied For, 7 Patented 1-5-32”. Serial no. is 223984. Apparently this was some sort of early release trigger. A new one on me. Somebody with a flinch might want to check it out.

Chuck…..?

Just the man I had in mind.

Gee, thanks for thinking of me:cuss::crying::banghead::nono:

We could start a Go Fund Me for you.

I shot a Perazzi TM1 with a release trigger thirty years ago . When I released that abomination I shot ten feet over the bird . I couldn’t hit my ass with both hands when using a release trigger :cuss:

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.

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 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.

Jesus , Mary and Joseph you’re gonna cause me to go to church after a comment like that :nono:

WHAAAT??….:shock:

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!

Andy, not a problem if the gun is always pointed downrange.

I was at our club a number of years ago, and pulled two rounds of trap for another member. He had two straights - One with a M12 Release Trigger and the other with an O/U standard trigger. Can't imagine how he did that

I’m more worried about a release trigger in my hands than someone else’s.

Wonder why everyone thinks of Chuck right away??? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!

:rotf::rotf::rotf::shock::whistle:

I'm very popular:whistle: I don't flinch anymore, right Mike!

You never ever ever flinch anymore. You don't flinch any less either!! :rotf:

Actually, you have been getting much better at not wanting to dive over the shooting stand rail. You did really well in the Fox-Parker Challenge last September. I was proud of ya buddy!!

To answer Chuck's question, "No, I have not seen a Parker double with a release trigger." However, I'm sure they are out there, most likely in Pennsylvania.
