Possibly all of this is being thought about too much. For those who use double triggers and are used to them then the double trigger is superior. For them. Others grew up using the single trigger and for them it is superior. Does it really make a difference so long as each person feels comfortable with their chosen gun. For consideration though does anyone know when the first single trigger came about? Personally I believe it was a marketing ploy for those people used to a rifle trigger. The single trigger made no learning curve necessary to shoot a double shotgun. Also let's consider other subjects we could consider: Straight grip compared to a curved grip? If there are two triggers what is the point of having both barrels choked the same as in full/full etc.?
There are many variables in the shooting world. Many, probably most, are the result of manufacturers having to sell something new to us. The 270 Winchester has always been a fantastic cartridge in my mind yet the manufacturers decided to invent the Short Action cartridges for which I see no earthly reason whatsoever. Has anyone in history really had a problem getting a second cartridge in the chamber due to its being too long?
I won't ramble on any more here except to say I love double trigger shotguns but do own a Winchester 21 Skeet gun with a single trigger. I love it to death. If I could find an older 1930's with double triggers I would have no problem buying it as well.
Good shooting to you all,
Dennis
