When I first got into shooting doubles, I hated double triggers. I was so used to that single trigger and was full of angst when thinking of using double triggers! After a few rounds of clays the few synapses that still worked took over and since then it’s been easy peasy!! I have some single trigger Parkers but that’s because I really liked the guns. Just takes a little practice and your brain will go to auto-pilot.

I would love to find a double trigger O/U sporting clays gun. Choke selector!

Andy, shoot the SxS guns. They’ll break just as many birds as an O/U.

Just look for an EARLY Browning Superposed, with the double/single trigger. You'll have both bases covered.

Holy crap. Good idea.

Double trigger Browning Superposeds are hard to find. They are the solution to the over under double trigger problem. Double single trigger Supers are the best.

I bought a Beretta S3 from one of the members here. Made in 1936 and almost all are double triggers. First Beretta with the shallow sidepin reciever and pretty muched ruled live Pigeon matches in Europe for a long time. Beretta reportedly paid a huge price for the one Hemingway bought in the 1940's and put it on display in NY. Not overlong or heavy but one of the most dynamic bird guns ever made. I think it would be a great Sporting Gun.

Don't turn down an S series Beretta with double triggers because it has 28" barrels when you want 30". 28" barrels were standard for European pigeon guns until very recent times. 30" are very hard to find.
