Double barrel shotgun double triggers?

Question

I want to buy a double barrel because they are badass, but that's not reason enough. So a 2x barrel with 2x trigger firing birdshot, would that recoil badly? And what cost range would I be looking at? Semi>pump>break barrel, so I want to be able to justify to myself me buying one

Answer 1

I personally searched for the exact same features:

- 2 barrel

- 2 triggers

- barrel not too long

- 3" capable

- payable



I got myself a Rossi Overland in 12/76. another opportunity would be the stoeger coachgun.



Actually I once fired both barrels at a time with Remington 3" 000 Buckshot. Its really really nasty and theres a risk of serious injury.

I wouldnt try this again - ever.



I also regularly shoot two birdshots together. Its still quite hefty but still no comparison.



The only thing you REALLY need to concentrate on is to pull both triggers at the very same time! It can go wrong if those rounds dont go off at the same time! I would practice this dry at home!



Hope that helped

Double Barrel Double Trigger Shotgun

Answer 3

For wingshooting, Trap or Skeet a double barrel is inherently more difficult to shoot well. You also handle a double a little differently then any other shotgun because of the balance. In addition due to that heavy front end, there is more " drop at the heal ". This term refers to the amount the butt of the stock is lower then the shotgun's receiver. ( Basically ) This larger amount of drop causes the gun to have a good bit more felt recoil. This is mainly due to torque. The stocking causes the front of the gun to rise more then other types of shotguns. This has more of a belt to the cheek bone. The difference, is that most other shotguns will recoil more straight back rather then flipping the muzzle upward. So yeah, a side by side is bad ***, but, to shoot one allot requires a badass too. You must be willing to get belted.



So when choosing a side by side, look at how much drop at the heel. Some of the modern doubles do not have as much as others, and that will help you shoot well. Remember also extra barrel = heavier gun. Badass has to carry.



Truly, any of the others will suit you better, but, I agree, and do own side by sides, they are just CLASSICOOL. Depending on how much you want to spend, an Over & Under may be in order. Still a double barrel.

Answer 4

I like a single trigger with a thumb controlled barrel selector switch. However many folks really prefer the double trigger set up. So I guess much will be a personal preference. The one thing I do not like is a single trigger without a barrel selector switch - found on every inexpensive double barrel I know about. Single triggers allow me to make easier shots as I do not have to move my trigger finger at all. Just move my thumb to select the barrel if the one set up to shoot is not choked enough or too little.

Answer 5

you could buy one nice double barrel or two budget guns (a 2x bbl and a pump).



a cheap century double barrel is $279. a cheap (but good & popular) budget shotgun is the mossberg 500 or Remington 870, at $300. still cheaper than a nice double barrel - $800 to $1000.



besides, those nice double barrel guns do not look as badass as a cheap century/chinese import.



most double barrels either have two triggers, it would be difficult to pull them both, if you did the recoil would be heavy. it would be very sharp resulting in bruises and a very sore shoulder, but there's not alot of recoil... by that i mean recoil (like most things) can be measured two ways: speed of recoil vs depth of recoil. speed is how fast or heavy is the jolt of recoil, depth is 'weight' or how deep is the recoil.

shotguns are on the extreme end of sharp recoil. is the gun's also heavy it'll be sharp and heavy. blackpowder and muskets are on the other end, having deep but very slow recoil so it's perceived as very light.



a double barrel shotgun would have very very sharp recoil, but since the gun's not very heavy and the powder burn time is very fast, it will have less depth of recoil as compared to say, a 30-06 rifle...

not much difference. Singles and doules are so simple and follproof they dont really break or have problems. Single may be a bit easyier.No difference in accuracy. AND you can pull both triggers at one! Jk dont do that

Answer 7

for "looking badass" you can get a stoeger double for $350 new at most gunstores.....in either 12ga or 20..... .410 generally costs a bit more....



and YES you can pull both triggers at same time.......and recoil is decent if you do with birdshot......can even do with buckshot....tho i don't......

Answer 8

Recoils pretty bad and your lookin anywhere from 800 to 2000 for a decent one. But they sure are cool looking and fun to shoot. It's a good investment.

Answer 9

I got the Century arms coach gun for 330 from my local dealer on special order.
