It was for me as well, at first. I found it hard at first to believe that this sort of gun could ever be duplicated. No its not equal to an actual H&H. No more than AyA or Grulla, etc. It is on par with Spain, perhaps even better consideing the level of internal finish on mine. However, I did call Dickinson and strongly suggest DT as standard. They told me that their dealers were driving the whole single trigger thing. I tooprefer double triggers.
