What are the pros and cons of having a single trigger versus double triggers on a side by side shotgun?
My guess is that a double trigger is supposed to give the option of firing either barrel, and might also be more reliable since no switching mechanism is required. But isn't there a danger of accidentally triggering both barrels at once?
Also, I'd like to know how "drop safe" most double shotguns are. I try not to drop my guns but I've read many accounts of hunters being killed or wounded by shotguns that discharged from an impact.
