This will tell ya some of it. http://www.frontierspot.org/viewtopic.php?t=25130
The rest is when Pukin Dog borrowed it, he didn't realize it only had one trigger. So, when he squeezed the trigger he thought it was the front trigger and was lookin' fer the back trigger.  Moral of the story: don't shoot someone's gun without some coaching first.

Yeah, nothing like being on a stage and can't figure out how to shoot a gun!  The only doubles I had ever shot always had 2 doggone triggers on 'em.  Then Slim gives me this new fangled shooting iron that only had ONE   So while the timer is going (now driving me down to 193rd place vice the firm lock on had on 192nd place) I'm trying to figure out how to get the second round off.  The RO twarnt no dang help either.  Then I touched off the second round by accident and shot about 5 feet high!  Nothing got hurt except what was left of my pride thank goodness. 

So from now on, if I ever borrow a pards shootin' iron to try, I'm asking for a bit of tutoring

I donwanna know about that.

The other story was good, though. I'd prolly be just as confused as Pukin' Dog!

The first SxS I owned was a single trigger, so it took me awhile to figure out two triggers after I got my first two trigger.

All the ones I've had have had two triggers................Buck

<----fan of two trigger sxs's.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

<---- Doesn't know how a one trigger double would work. Do you pull the trigger twice?


AnnieLee

[Four-Eyed Buck]

<------------Who knows the answer is yes, twice

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

<------------Who knows the answer is yes, twice

Morning, Buck!

So, how does that work? If it was a single barrel, I'd call it the world's most limited semi-auto!


AnnieLee

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Not sure of the mechanics, but the barrels fire in the same order each time, unless it has a selective control. One like that would be toooo expensive for knocking around a cowboy shoot anyway.................Buck

[Silver Creek Slim]

I used a single selective triggered Baikal/EAA SxS for my first 3 years of CAS. They cost about $350. I got it because I was not used to two triggers and the only sporting/long-barrelled Baikals had single triggers. I bought it for chinese chix hunting also. Some of the single trigger SxS's are recoil activated triggers. Which means, the recoil makes it switch to the second barrel. My "Mighty Ten" is this way. If the load doesn't have enough recoil the second barrel will not go off with the second trigger pull. The barrel selector is part of the safety on this one, so ya have to move the selector to the other side if that happens. I found this out because I put blanks in it and only one barrel would fire.

Slim

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Thanks, Slim! I thought it might be recoil activated.

So it is some kind of weird semi-auto, but instead of the ammo loading, it switches barrels. That's pretty cool.

[Silver Creek Slim]

My Baikal is not recoil activated, though. I am have trouble with it doubling on me (both barrels at once). Ouch! I know what is happening but don't know how to fix it. A gunsmith already supposedly fixed it but it still does it. But my better half bought me a Lefever Nitro special for our anniversary, so I have another SxS until I get the Baikal fixed. I am now looking at a N. R. Davis mule-ear. I have some money left over from selling guns to buy the Henry.

Slim

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

But you didn't get to shoot the Henry this weekend because it was too cold?

I'm waiting for my Brownell screwdriver set to arrive before I adjust Minny.

Both barrels at once get stylin' points.   I do that a'purpose, when the stage says double tap, pulling both triggers at once (or as close as I can get).  Works best with the loud smoky stuff.  Cornfuses the scores though.
