Do over under shotguns have 2 triggers?

Do over under shotguns have 2 triggers?

No modern reputable manufacturer makes a double trigger o/u. Baikal is not a reputable manufacturer by the way. When shooting an o/u with a single trigger all you do is pull the trigger twice. You don’t have to fool with the selector or safety between shots.

Why do double barrel shotguns have two triggers?

The early doubles used two triggers, one for each barrel, located front to back inside the trigger guard. The index finger was used to pull either trigger, as having two fingers inside the trigger guard can cause a very undesirable recoil-induced double-discharge.

Which trigger fires which barrel over under?

Traditionally, the bottom barrel shoots first and has the more open choke in an over/under. Theoretically the bottom barrel has less muzzle jump but I honestly have a hard time discerning the difference. With SXS shotguns, the right barrel shoots first and is fired by the front trigger on a double trigger gun.

What kind of gun is the Baikal IZh-58?

It is perfectly clear that this gun is either M or MA. Izh-58 had “bolsters” – the parts of the breech that stand out of the action to support the barrels – that had a semi-cylindrical, rather than semi-spheric, as in this example, shape.
