I don't disagree with that assessment about double triggers and a shooters effectiveness once it becomes second nature to someone and your extremely comfortable with it. Read an article about helice that specifically mentioned that shooters preferred O/U's with single triggers due to speed of having to rapid fire. I know that is just an opinion that was in the article that was written more like an introductory report referencing a discussion with someone at the US helice organization or sanctioning body. I purposely steer away from using word "official" but the fella was experienced shooter of helice involved in the organization.

I shoot lefty so I even have a slight advantage than a righty with a traditional double trigger layout since second trigger is to the left and back in the assembly and finding second trigger is no problem for me. However I think there is the perception a single trigger for a double gun has a faster effective firing rate than a double trigger. I think we are talking fractions of a second difference and recovering from recoil to keep on target and make an effective shot might take longer. Even with all this being said it is hard to argue against ergonomics that someone with a fast twitch trigger finger can work a single trigger action faster than someone shooting double triggers. That may be against popular opinion on this site that holds double guns and double triggers sacred but...
