Single trigger question

[Stan Hillis]

If your chokes are so that the left is more tight than the right, as many doubles are, the previous owner may have used it for incoming doves or ducks, in which situations it is often the case that the tighter choked barrel (left) is used first when the bird is a good ways out, then the right barrel with the more open choke is used second on closer incomers, or if the first barrel missed. I do this often, with two trigger guns, to kill a double on incomers.

Many people with a single selective trigger gun set the selector in one position and seldom if ever move it. And, if the chokes are the same in both barrels, it doesn't really matter that much which barrel fires first anyway. I have a 16 ga. FWE LCS with 32" barrels, and HOT, that is like that. Both barrels are very tightly choked, and the only reason I ever move the HOT barrel selector is to keep from putting all the loads through the same barrel in the case of only one shot being fired at a bird.
