I just bought a pristine 20ga Miroku Daly O/U for my 14 year old grand daughter to get started. Great gun and will probably suit her for life. Had the stock shortened to fit (she is only 5'2" and done growing). These are one of the best guns in that price range and I could be happy shooting one as my only gun. Grandson already has a Miroku Daly SxS 20 and that is his pride. Looking forward to end of his enlistment in another couple years so he can take me bird hunting before I am too darned old for it. Started on a single shot Iver Johnson myself but used my dad's Springfield 16 ga SxS most of the time. I don't see any particular benefit to single shot that can't be accomplished by limiting the kids to only having one barrel loaded. Double triggers won't be an issue. I still prefer my Parker's double triggers to the single triggers on my other guns.
