What feels longer on a 14 1/4" LOP.
The single seems to always feel longer , maybe because of its relationship to the curve of the pistol grip????

Opinions?

I believe most times they put the single trigger in the front posistion but I have seen them in the middle and back also.I do agree grip placement is a big factor. A man with short fingers could move the trigger from normal front to the rear and get relife of about a inch though.

I think the modern Amercan marketed guns seem to have the trigger in the rear position most often and the Euro's seem to like the front or mid position more. I prefer the trigger further back, but can accomodate most any location.

BTW, I find a good reliable single trigger is more (just a little) desireable to me for my quail hunting. It is just a fraction of a second faster for the second shot, sometimes giving the opportunity for a second followup shot when a first is missed. Often, a second shot is not possible if not taken within a second or so, due to the heavy cover.

That's a new one. I've heard of 'felt' recoil, but 'felt' LOP?

Chuck I am usually hunting in open country. I find the ability to instantly go to the tighter choked barrel has some advantage. When a bird gets up a long way off I can go to the back trigger without thinking about it.

Best,

Mike- sounds like you read the late Ray P. Holland's articles on upland gunning and shotguns- he favored a 12 (me too) and with ejectors, two triggers- right tube Imp. Cyl and the left tube either Imp. Mod. or Full- good call- and any gun with two barrels side-by-each should have two triggers- foolproof!!

Yeah, Mike, I sometimes favor a 2T gun when it's more open as well. Frankly, it's not that much of a issue either way to me. I like all my guns for different reasons and hunt with them when it pleases me irregardless of whether it's a 2T or 1T, ejectors or extractors, as I'm sure most of us here do. For the most part, I feel the same way about the bore size when hunting quail. I seem to bag about the same with any bore size. I seem to gravitate to my 20g guns for most upland from quail to phez. In SD, a 2T sxs makes a lot of sense, but again, it didn't seem to make much difference at the end of the day.

I have an unusual 2T gun that's an LC 20g, 32", ejector, but both barrels are Modified choked. I don't want to open the right to a looser choke as I see this gun as a open country phez gun at near 7lbs.

I prefer the double trigger...I don't see it as slower than a single trigger. I do think the straight English style stock is more accommodating to a double trigger than a pistol gripped stock is.

...Or a nice POW/semi-pistol grip. For the most part, I don't notice the grip style when shooting, only the carrying (a A straight grip seems more comfy to carry all day, to me.
