Doubling SST
I do have one in a 30" GHE on a #2 frame and I've spent about $800 with three different people trying to fix it and it still doubles.
I will say that those, hard to kill, wild pheasants in the Dakotas die instantly when both barrels go off and send 2-1/2 ounces of #5's their way. Some people are not capable of shooting a double trigger and the SST's are a great option for them. I actually like them when they work. |

Don't anybody take offense at this, please, but some shooters can't shoot a single trigger without it doubling on them sometimes while another shooter may shoot the gun with no doubling whatsoever. Just the nature of the (human) beast.

Double trouble
That could be an interesting experiment; let someone else shoot the GHE and see if it doubles;
Hmmm. That could confirm $800 wasted if it does not. |

I know someone who can't use a SST without haveing both barrels go off virtually simultaneously.

I double my K-20 occasionally, and it is my fault. When I hold the gun loose and keep my finger at the break point, the gun bounces from the recoil and triggers the second shot. I guess this could happen with a SxS also. Billy

Someone noticed this problem and turned it into a money making attachment for semi-auto guns. I looked and I see Cabala's sells these add on stocks.
It all works on the same principal described in this thread; a certain type trigger finger and recoil will cause a double to take place. Watch this happen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks5id...id=P8yZQ3EHk5g |

I have had a number of Parker's with the SST. The latter trigger is a fine trigger. The early trigger can be a real problem. I bought a DHE 20 ( one frame 32 inch gun) about 10 years ago and the trigger started doubling. Griffin and Howe couldn't fix it so I sent it to Turnbull. Turnbull said he had spent hours on it with no luck. He offered to put a Miller in which I agreed to. I also had an early VHE double trap with the early trigger and it was a problem. Turnbull finally got that trigger to work. I have shot thousands of shells through guns with the Miller trigger with no issues. If you plan to shoot the gun, I would stay away from the early trigger. My 2 cents.

SST
I own a VH with Parker SST, attended a tower shoot last week and a friend asked me if he could shoot my gun at some clays prior to the shoot. He shot ( or attempted to) at five pairs of targets and it would only fire one barrel. I shot five pair of clays as well as 50 rounds in the tower shoot ( with the same ammo)and never had a failure to fire so do believe it can be the indian not the arrow.
