My Beretta OU will switch barrels by itself when you push the leaver to open the barrels. It's close and takes very little pressure to move. Solved it by running the same chokes in both barrels . Double triggers much better.

Double triggers on a double gun to me, are as natural as the sun coming up in the east.
While shooting a single trigger gun, I have actually caught myself reaching behind the single trigger for the second barrel, coming up with nothing but trigger guard.
My favorite is; double triggers, with a wide variance in choke constriction.
Open/tight, with the instant ability to choose is, IMO, the beauty of the classic double gun.

For me double triggers = true select trigger. I use it a lot on SC and five stand and rely on it in the field.

I shoot both interchangeably.However,I much prefer a double trigger simply because it is much faster to make a selection.The early Brownings offered a "double single" set up which was 2 single triggers.You just selected which barrel you wanted to fire first and pulled the same trigger again for your 2nd shot.They dropped it after a few years,probably too expensive to manufacture.

I ordered a M-682 live bird gun from Beretta 30 some years ago, and it came with a set screw that locked the selector into the bottom barrel first position.

Although I love double triggers for the ease of selection, simplicity, etc. there is one problem that I have. When it is cold, as in late season grouse hunting it is not uncommon for temps to be near the 10-15 degree mark. Wonderful weather for the dogs to run in but my hands get cold - very cold. I have to wear heavy gloves that make it near impossible to get a finger on the rear trigger. So, as the temperature drops I am forced to a single trigger gun. Hey, better than not hunting at all!

In the never ending search for winter gloves that are double gun compatible -I gave these a try last winter. Basically an insulated version of the uplander glove I wear most of the time

They worked well for winter clays. I wore them for a January duck hunt on one of the Finger Lakes, no issues with triggers. But after a day of heavy rain, I scoff at the claim they are waterproof
