That is an excellent question Frank. Let defer to the whipper for the answer.

I use both terms. I tend to use 'trigger plate' for hammer guns and 'floor plate' for hammerless guns, but I am no authority and I really don’t know what the correct all-inclusive terminology is for sxs guns.

Looks like we just may have an upcoming "skinny". BTW, Brian, no whipping, just a gentle nudge.

In a 1956 Remington folder on Parker parts it is referred to as a trigger plate. This is very similar to the parts illustration that can be seen from the home page under technical information but I do not believe it to be the same which refers to it as a trigger plate as well.
Then there is the definition of Floorplate as taken from Hallowells Firearm dictionary as follows: "Floorplate - A cover, usually of metal, usually hinged and latched, on the bottom of a bolt action rifle action which, when opened, allows the internal magazine to be emptied." |

Trigger plate it is. I’m 0 for 2.

Whatever we call it, we all know what part of the gun it is.
Woodcock / timberdoodles / bog-suckers / bug-eye / "little russet fellers" / mudbats..... Shotgun / fowling piece / scattergun / side-by-side / over-under.... Ruffed grouse / "The King" / partridge / pa'tridge / pattiges / pat'idge / pats / thunder chickens... We know what all of those terms mean. .
