DOUBLE DOUBLING!! PREVENTABLE FATAL ERROR??
      15/02/07 12:32 PM

All shooters with heavy Doubles may eventually Double their gun.This leaves you without options but to reload in "the heat of battle" This obviously can be fatal if that 2nd shot isn't there and the beast is upon you.

How do we prevent this with heavy recoiling Doubles and/or high stress situations? Discussed on another forum it was suggested that 2 causes were the source--
A) Shooter error, and B)Double mechanical error.


Regarding the the possible mechanical failure of Doubles-

As I understand it intercepting sears are supposed to prevent the recoil impulse from setting off the remaining barrel in a Double and prevent Doubling.

I believe the Heym has this feature along with an articulated front trigger.I think the Searcy as well.

Do the Capuis and the Merkel? Maybe not--If so pulling the rear trigger first(barf) may have to be considered as a prevention of Doubling on a big Double vs adjusting the poundage of the rear trigger up substantially. How many times do you Double before you get a smith to check it? Any simple tests? How many rounds would ensure reliability? Hate to be in a tight with no 2nd shot--

If I am off base will somebody please enlighten me?

Thanks!
