doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com LoP: Longer for straight grip?

That's pretty much it, Jack. A good description, too, less dry than what I heard as a first year med student in 1977.

If these are guns you use why all the different lengths ? It's sure not going to help your shooting.

Since the straight grip evolved with the double triggers I've often wondered if the straight or English style stock didn't allow for better transition from front trigger to back trigger....

What's 101 say about that ?

Well, quite wondering, cause it doesn't.

yOu a Docta ?

Are yOu?

Yea I'm a brain surgeon....





Kan eYe bee of assistance ?

Your a Idiot!

Because that's how they were built (I bought them used) and I shoot them all fine. And by the way, it is a myth that it is easier to switch triggers on a DT gun with one type of grip or another. I have a bunch of straight grip and pistol grip DT guns and there is no difference. Samuel Hoggson's wrist theory sounds good, but it really makes no difference in LOP (straight or pistol) in actual practice, from my experience.

Well put, Mr. Bernfeld.

It is amazing how that old myth keeps being banded about by those don't know what their talking about.

Absolutely. The straight grip require that you rotate your thumb up into proximity of your nose, and its necessary to regain some clearance. Single-trigger straight-grip guns are a little more tolerant of length if the trigger has something of a central position within the guard. On two-tirgger guns, no question.
