thoughts on this. Is it safer to have this?I notice this is some new feature. I'm thinking it might help prevent accidental discharge because trigger is harder to pull?Anyone use one of these before.

    As Col. Cooper would say, "It is an ingenious solution to a non-existent problem."More accurately, it is an attempt to use gadgetry to overcome a lack of training.I would not have one as a gift.

    I agree with nunn completely. The correct way to prevent accidental discharge is keep your finger out of the trigger guard unless you are ready to shoot.

    I have to disagree with nunn and the good Dr.Mossberg developed the double-action with law enforement in mind. Such people will have their fingers on the trigger and be ready to fire more often than your average firearm owner.Human reaction is such, that a momentary loss of balance will result in a reflex response of "tightening of the hand grip"--the double-action trigger will give a greater margin of safety than the single action. And with lawsuits as they are today, no PD want an accidental shooting (and most officiers don't want it either). Additionally, keeping in mind that "safety" is "redundency", a sharp jar to the Mossberg single-action, with the safety off, does create some risk of accidental discharge; the double-action does give a greater margin of safety here. That said, I have not fired a double-action trigger yet, so cannot give you any opinion on that end.Joe[This message has been edited by competentone (edited 09-25-2001).]
