I’m a bottom feeder when it comes to buying shotguns. I get a lot of pleasure in taking guns that others on the board would use as tomato stakes, freshening them up and putting them back to work. The one thing that’s a deal killer for me on anything but a 410 is a single trigger on a double (be it an O/U or a SXS). The dual trigger layout just makes too much sense, is so mechanically simple, easy to use, and universal in application that putzing around with barrel selectors (which can differ from gun to gun) as your quarry flies off into the horizon just doesn’t make sense. I think that a company that converts guns equipped with a Miller trigger back to a dual trigger ultimately makes more sense. As usual this is just my opinion and since I’m providing it for free you can take it for what it’s worth.
BTW I did own a single trigger 12 bore LC Smith when I was a college student. The damn thing would spontaneously discharge and double at the slightest provocation. I had it repaired (I thought!) and sold it (I needed cash) only to have the buyer tell me a year later both barrels had spontaneously discharged while he was sitting with it in a duck blind. Fortunately I had given him the repair receipt with the gun so he was able to vent his anger on the guilty party (the lousy smith who "fixed" it).
But even without the history I still feel that double triggers are the only way to go.
