Beretta Double Trigger?

lightning2923
I am looking at a Beretta S56E o/u 12ga, 26" barrels w/ double triggers. In the new blue book there is no designation as to weather or not the double trigger adds any value to this gun. Can anyone tell me if it does or does not matter and how much if so?

Thanks

    I have a pair of S56E one 12 Ga. and one 20 Ga.NO I DO NOT WANT TO SELL. both of mine are choked Improved Cylinder and Improved Modified. I hate single trigger double's and O/U . I even got a European trigger conversion for my Valmet model 412 combo gun. The Beretta has the front triggers hinged so as not to FROG your finger under recoil. Now as to value it is sort of like a 16 Ga. shot-gun "If you are selling everyone will say it is worth less HOWEVER if you are buying everyone will tell you because they are RARE the price is higher.

    NOT SPECIFIC TO THIS SHOTGUN BUT DOUBLE TRIGGERS IN 'GENERAL' BRING LESS $$$ THAN SINGLE TRIGGERED GUNS

    I don't know how the double triggers efect the worth of your gun, but there are lots of double gun shooters that prefer double triggers especially for upland hunting. They fuction as an instant choke change.

    As has been insinuated, I will insinuate again. Generally speaking, single trigger doubles, are generally worth more than double trigger doubles. This pertains to both, the over/under, and side by side.

    Mr. Lightning,
    Having just been through the process of finding an buying a moderately priced upland 20 ga side by side sidelock. I pondered the single trigger v. the double trigger issue. My conclusion is that when buying, the single selective trigger generally is a practical option that increases the asking price of the gun. I guess this is because the gizmo is another part that has to be made and installed. However, for some of the upper crusty seasoned double barreled gunners, a single selective trigger on a fine upland two shooter is only a small step above a mortal sin. The same goes for removeable chokes and stocks with pistol grips. Values of upper end doubles can vary quite a bit. Finding the right buyer is the key in my opinion. What you have to realize is that you are dealing with folks with the mentality to fork over $10,000 - $30,000 for a fowling peice that is more or less capable of achieving the same end result as a slightly rusted well used Remington 870.

    I am a 100% double trigger guy. All but one shotgun i own is a double trigger gun and that is only because it was not available on that gun. And i understand that most collector guns or older shotguns with single triggers bring more money i just did not know about double triggers on an o/u as i have only heard of them but never seen one. I figured it might be a little more rare on an older o/u. I also like extractor guns. Nothing wrong with ejectors and i can catch the shells on an ejector gun it is just my preference. I just beleave in picking up my hulls and any other trash i may leave on someones property. I am thankful to land owners who let me hunt on their property and do want to be ask again.

    Thanks everyone for your input.
