I have a DHE with one, it's pretty neat. Mine is the typical trap/live bird configuration, no safety, English stock, long barrels, lots of choke etc. Unfortunately no letter available.

I find it interesting that -- apparently -- this feature received so little mention.

Would like to see a picture of this trigger type. Have never seen one. Cheers Jack

Jack, It's not a very noticeable feature. Unfortunately, the photo I have is very poor (I tried to enlarge it, but to little avail). I did not know this gun had the hinged trigger when I bought it, and it was only after I was cleaning it that I noticed it. Maybe someone else has a better photo.

Mine wasn't mentioned when I bought it either, it's kind of an unusual feature and apparently often overlooked. I'm guessing they are for shooters that need the room but don't want a single trigger/

Thanks to everyone who responded. I'm still a bit baffled by the lack of reference to this feature in Parker publications. My collection of catalogs and other printed information is very slim, so maybe there is some mention somewhere. I'll keep looking. If anyone else finds something, could you please let me know?

Thanks again!
