When considering an over/under shotgun, is there a difference between one trigger and two? Is there any particular advantage for trap shooting or grouse hunting?
 
i personally am not used to 2 triggers and i tend to grab the wrong one, since the barrels are choked differently.. i don't shoot very well /w them (once i pressed the trigger and nothing happened, wrong trigger, the barrel didn't have a shell as i only load 1 at a time)

/w a single trigger and the barrel selector, i can make sure that every shot is from the correct barrel
 
I am horrible with 2 triggers... twice now I have hit both triggers at the same time and ended up cutting my finger on both occasions pretty bad because of it.
 
No.

And no.

But I hope you aren't using the same gun for trap and grouse :confused: .

What kind of a gun are you looking at?

Grouse Man
 
Double triggers works very well in a grouse gun. The barrel selection is instant. I like it!

The SG I owned before has a single/selective set up. I NEVER used the "selective" option in all the years I owned the gun, and the transition to double triggers in my next gun was easy.

I just bought a TOZ 34 because I just couldn't resist the good pricing any longer. I have always wanted to try trap shooting, and this will get me started. Once I decide if I like it, then I will start looking at a nicer gun. Secondly, I have done a fair bit of grouse hunting and this seems like a fair enough shotgun for that. I have always shot grouse with a full or modified choke, the TOZ has one of each. I have also read that full or modified are pretty good trap chokes (please coreect me if I am wrong). If the TOZ doesn't work for Grouse or Trap, I can always go back to the Remmington 870express.
 
Two barrels should equal two triggers. With an U/O there is a problem using the twin triggers if the gun has a very full pistol grip, as many U/O's do. When shifting triggers the trigger hand moves, following the contour of the grip. This changes the alignment of the hands and can make follow up shots challenging. Double triggers are best used with straight grip or semi pistol grip stocks. I much prefer double triggers for game, for clays it doesn't much matter.
