Larry: You neglected to mention that DTs are also a PITA in cold weather hunting, and can raise issues about front-trigger bruising, middle-finger bruising, hand movement, trigger alignment, etc. - all of which have been discussed on this BB. Major Burrard addressed the first issue after a lifetime of shooting DTs:
Quote:

"Personally I am one of those who likes to use gloves in cold weather...For this reason I took to a single trigger five seasons ago, and it has been a perfect joy to me ever since."

When the grouse woods go bare and white and the wind chill gets razor sharp, Larry, my DT stays at home.

As for the current fad for DTs on modern SxSs, I suspect it is somewhat driven by "tradition" as hyped by the Angloid set. If DTs work for you and the hunting you do, by all means use them.

But calling DTs "correct" implies that STs are "incorrect" - and that is the kind of "my choice is better than your choice" cr@p that has ruined so many BBs. Rocketman said it all:

If one type were truly best, then that is what we would all shoot.
