Small Hands?

[Clark McCombe]

I had never even considered a single trigger until last week when I shot over a hundred clays.
John Pulis can attest, I had blood running down the stock of the gun. I taped a paper towel over my finger and finished the round with John. Maybe with the bumper and a glove that fits I can avoid the single trigger.
But, maybe I should find one anyway - just to see

Clark, I have one on each gun; I could move them around on guns I don’t shoot often but for me it’s just easier to leave them on. Not as cool when photographing but hey; my guns always have them so…

I even have one on my Parker SBT which for some reason has bitten me a couple times even though it only has one trigger.

This may be considered blasphemy by many but here goes. Some years back i mentioned to a well known member from the north east that my new to me VH 1 frame was cutting my finger when firing the rear trigger. Simple he says, the front trigger is bent just bend it back they are soft. Went home and compared it to my others and yes it had straigtened compared to others. made primitive tool out of steel tubing and bent it back so it matched my others in curvature. They bend easy with a little leverage.
Food fo thought and i have had no further problems.

I wondered about that....
The space between the 2 triggers varies from gun to gun, and a couple of mine are really tight.

It was the bottom half of the front trigger. My plumber son got a piece of small steel tubing and i flattened the end in a vice so it would fit over the trigger after swinging the guard out of the way and it only took a small amount of force with a 6 inch lever to put the right curve back in it to give my finger the room for the gun to recoil without hitting my finger.
Hope this helps prevent the purchace of a single trigger gun.

The suggestions today have been really helpful.
Looks like they have warded off straying to a single trigger.

Clark there is nothing wrong with a Parker with a single trigger. In fact, the last two that I have acquired have been very nice Remington era Parkers with single trigger and beavertails. I love both of them!

[Clark McCombe]

If I came across an original single trigger, I wouldn’t hesitate.
They’re all part of the Parker story.
Are the Remington era single triggers selectable?

[Reggie B]

Yes they are.
