KDGJ re: single trigger dislikes:

I have to apologize. I seemed to remember that Alfred Neumann's (author of "Elephant Hunting in East Equatorial Africa ") .577 Express which broke down was a Westley Richards ST. On checking up with the book, I find that there's not a single reference of WR in it, and the Express mentioned was actually by Gibbs. I have to add that nowhere in the book does Neumann write about 'disliking' the weapon, on the contrary, he said he was completely satisfied with it and always points out that the breakdown was 'due to an accident'.

Hemingway's dislike seemed to be about the trigger pull, which he felt inferior to magazine rifles, and wasn't targeted specifically at WR of all double guns.
