Having owned and shot many times several examples of both, I'll play devil's advocate and offer this opinion; unless you're planning on getting an ejector model Sterlingworth for possible upgrade later on, or there is a huge price difference, I'd certainly not shy away from the Trojan. I personally found standard the Parker gun (to include the Trojan) with double triggers and manual extractors to be totally reliable and to function quite smoothly; although I can't say the same about Parker guns with single triggers and auto-ejectors, as I had continuous problems with those options. And although the Sterlingworth admittedly has fewer parts and screws, the Trojan is much better fitted and finished; and as regards softness of barrel steels, don't hit me over the head with a set of barrels from either model!
