Re: A double - which trigger first?

I have two DR's now, both with single triggers!
In 99% of the hunting videos the guy only shoots one barrel anyway, so what difference is it really going to make? And more than two shots..... only in the guys' dreams!
I believe the difference it could make is , one, you are in Africa and a problem developed with the rifle's trigger-ie: broken spring... you are out of luck with a single trigger --or, if you are hunting the thick stuff after dangerous game and you have a misfire with one barrel, the other is readily there for you when you have two triggers--
It is not merely whether you need one shot or not--saftey and reliability is a major reason most double makers stick with two triggers--like Taylor stated in his books, its like carrying two rifles in one--which is one of the many reasons they were so popular for hunting dangerous game..
As to which one first--it may be preference, but I have always pulled the front (right barrel) first--and to date have had no problems..
