Single Trigger Question

[Foster Myers III]

I know that the blue book lists added values for certain things like a straight stock, barrels of a certain length, ejectors etc. But what about Parkers that have a single trigger? I think I remember reading somewhere that was an option, even for the Trojans but I am curious if that adds any addition value (or not).
Thanks as always

I think it a relative thing . In the eye of the beholder perhaps (IE the seller) in the eye of the buyer that could be a different thing . I’ve got one with a factory single trigger and don’t dislike it for that fact but I’d rather it had double triggers and had left the factory that way . I suspect the consensus answer will be actual factory single triggers are more rare but again the value one puts on that option is certainly a personal thing in my opinion .

Makes sense, and thank you for the input. I've never handled a single on a Parker, only Lefever. How does the barrel selection work if you do not mind me asking?

[Bruce Hering]

If its a single non selective trigger it will likely shoot the right barrel first (unless of course its been messed with).

If its selective you will see a selector slide next to the trigger..... (Parker installed, I think).

Someone will chime in soon with more info.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. A curious thing, the gun I am buying is a V grade, but from what I saw on some other posts, this was only an option on D grades and above. Looks like I may have some more questions to ask the seller Monday AM

Make sure you post some pics if you get it.

A factory single trigger was available on all grades of hammerless Parkers.

Thanks For the clarification Dean. What are your thoughts on added value? Not looking to turn around and sell it, only curious.

Craig made the point above that it’s a relative thing. I know a guy who won’t buy a Parker with a single. For target guns I prefer them. So does it in crease or decrease the value? Depends on who’s buying.

[Dean Romig]

Like both Craig and Mike have said, it’s a matter of personal preference. Some like them and some don’t. Some might pay a premium while others wouldn’t even buy such a gun.

I own only one Parker with a single trigger but would be just as happy if it had double triggers because I have no problem shooting a double trigger gun. Some people have trouble with double triggers.
