I've owned approximately 20 repro's over the years and still have two. A 16/20 & a 28"-28ga.

All of them have been double trigger guns.

At this point it appears this thread is showing the bias here toward DT gun's. The greater majority you see for sale are single triggers.

I have to wonder if taking this survey here doesn't skew the results because original Parker's were DT and "we" collect them, thus we have a bias toward DT?

Regardless of period of manufacture or even manufacturer's name, I would still opt for a DT SXS... Period.

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

Dean is spot on.
All DTs here (as in both).
Best Fishes, Steve

+1



Mechanical simplicity/reliability along with instant choke selection be good

Eric is the man. 25 Repros and we wonder why double trigger 28s are hard to find. I personally don't care. I own one double trigger beavertail straight grip two barrel 28 and really don't need another unless it is a "deal". I bought mine during the selloff when people said they couldn't get what they wanted. I think the potential customers at that time didn't give enough effort on the phone. That's how I got mine and I could have had many more, but was not smart enough.
