I dont know crap about single trigger side by side / OU shotguns.
Selective trigger double barrelled shotguns, how do they work, to wit:
You have a single trigger and the selector switch, usually at the back of the reciver.
In most models can you shoot both barrels with a single pull, or is it a single shot, depending on the selector postion?
Thanks

The selector has 3 positions, safe, over, under. Depending on which (of the second 2 positions) is selected, the first trigger pull will fire the selected barrel. The second pull will fire the other one.
On a progressive system, you can dry fire both barrels with 2 consective pulls.
On a inerita system, the first pull will fire the selected barrel, but the "kick" from the firing shell sets it to fire the second barrel (you can test this on a empty gun by slapping the buttpad with your palm). Incase of a misfire, the inerita system can be made to fire the second barrel by simply sliding the selector to safe and than back to fire (dosn't matter if you change barrels when you do this).
If you WANT both barrels to fire with a single trigger pull, get a older Weatherby Orian and shoot it a bunch. All those POS's would start doubling due to "wizz" poor heat treating of the sears, and Weatherby's warrenty dept's basic response was "you bought the POS, why should we care if it broke" (any one want to guess how many Weatherby's I own now?)

My sxs has one trigger and no selection capability. It just fires the more open choked barrel first and the full choke barrel for the second shot. For most applications that is great. I find two triggers to be worse than nothing. And I'm not sure that I would use the selection capability very often. In the thick of the hunt, I sure wouldn't have time to think about which barrel to shoot first. And 99.5% of the time it would be in the order that it does on its own! Works for dummies like me![:D]
I use a over under to turkey hunt. sometimes I will fire the tightest choke first. or wait til he gets a little closer and give him a Mod. choke..Too tight of a choke on a close bird = A Miss...or a bird with no head[:0] ..........[:)]
