Dean I ordered a RBL 20 with a single trigger,beavertail,upgraded wood etc. Nice gun killed my share of birds with it. But, while hunting prairie chickens and sharptails I got tried of birds flushing at 35 yards and I am standing there with improved shooting first and mod. shooting next. I can not work the selector while shooting. The gun is now called the mistake gun. Now when out west I carry double triggered a 16 GH choked imprv. and full. Last fall in Montana some sharptails tried the flush at 35 trick and they rode to Mississippi with me.

I'm just like Dean said. When your used to shooting double triggers most of the time and then you shoot a single trigger gun it completely messes me up. I find myself going for a rear trigger and then a misfire or missing the shot.

Most of my doubles are full full or full mod so I just shoot front / back trigger since it's shooting ridiculously tight patterns in both barrels at 21 yards anyways.

Today I shot my Lefever D grade that is choked CYL and full so I was using the back trigger first on shot going away and following up with the front for the incoming shot.

I noticed myself I needed to remind myself which trigger to choose in the first couple rounds but after that I was unconsciously bringing the gun up with the finger on the correct trigger needed for the respective shot.
