Don't recall that anyone said you couldn't?

Masochists? I don't think anyone mentioned masochism, except you. Myself, I don't like recoil. If a rifle hurts me, I don't shoot it anymore. That's why I'm picky about stock design and fit. A hunting partner has a lovely custom Win M70 .375 that comes in at 11 lbs with scope. Five rounds with it, and I'm done for the day. I won't shoot it anymore. Another friend has a .577/100 Cordite/750 bullet NE, that has never hurt me. Then again, I know how.

If I have offended anyone for their desire to abuse themselves in this manner so be it
"Abuse"? That's absurd. Like I said, if it bothers me, I don't do it anymore. There's no good reason for a fine double rifle to be painful to shoot. You assume otherwise because you've not had the experience to learn otherwise.
You also missed my point entirely. My point was, all that is required to avoid the nastiness of a double discharge is to learn the proper way to address the front trigger, which is butt simple. It takes a masochist to insist otherwise. Some people just can't learn something that's different.

What good is a double if you can't shoot either barrel instantly?
If the fix is moving your trigger finger 1 or less centimeters that seems like a bargain. I touch off my varmint rifle with a different trigger contact than I use on a DA wheelgun, so it seems no big deal to "grab" the front trigger on a double a wee bit differently than I would the tripper on the rat buster.
Excellent post, 9.3, and EXACTLY right!
