Choke/barrel selection is waay faster and more instinctive with a DT gun.

Mechanical simplicity/reliability along with instant choke selection be good

The results may be skewed, but I doubt it has anything to do with original Parkers. I've never owned one, and I wouldn't call myself a "collector." I buy guns to hunt with; if I don't use them, I sell them. I, like Dean and many of you, will only own double trigger double barrel shotguns. I even had Rich Cole convert my Beretta Diamond Pigeon 687 EELL O/U to double triggers (does an over/under count as a "double "?).

I have several ST repros, a few DTs, wish they all had DTs. All my other SxSs have DTs.

I would have converted the Miller single trigger gun back to double triggers, but the Sears were bent in the conversion.
