I'll bet there is a glass case in a dim corner of the Flat Earth Society's headquarters that has an English single trigger displayed in it.
Not installed in a gun, mind you, just the single trigger, ripped out by the roots and replaced in some old gun by a good English gunsmith, with a proper, double trigger.
Which, is better.
Unless, you believe the Earth is flat.
Best,
Ted

This has to rank as the stupidest discussion to ever appear on this site and that takes some doing.
In the historical context, larger forends, pistol grip and Monte Carlo stocks, single triggers ALL were innovations over a hundred years ago, barely a good decade after the the guns that spawned the innovations were finally functioning fairly well. Innovations by SHOOTERS - not self styled preening hopeful dictators or slaves of style over function.
Those innovations supplanted the prior form in arenas of demanding gun control for the simple reason that they are BETTER!!
This has been edited down from several pages of maligning invective since I'm not of the opinion that worshipers of a mythical "aesthetic" would be able to comprehend more than the above - if even that. I mean any meathead that would carve up a purposebuilt irreplaceable gun to make it "look right" really deserves a proper flogging with a padless, gripless, knife edged combed POS.
JMO of course

I think I will take a dinner hour and read this thread. Screwing with an ugly gun just because it is ugly goes against my feelings about gunmakers versus shooters. The shooters and the gunmakers voted "ugly". If we don't like it, it's still two against one. I think we should take a second look at a British gun with beavertail and pistol grip before we mess with it. Slimming down the forend would be one thing that can be done without destroying anything. Not that I own a British gun with a pistol grip, but I do lust after Woodwards with Prince of Wales grips. I did order a CSMC Inverness with a Prince of Wales grip when a straight grip was available.

Single trigger, no. BT forend, not even on an American field gun.
POW grip, of course!

In my experience, these particular permutations do not reduce the price at which a gun will sell. It is a case of finding someone who likes them.
