I love my side by side doubles. Just last year I ran into Cabella's to buy a hat, and came out with this "dealer special" (non-cataloged) CZ America. 12 gauge, 3" chambers, interchangeable chokes. It's a joy to both carry and shoot. The double triggers are no problem for me, I've been shooting a double trigger side by side most of my life.



Here is that very shotgun I've been shooting most of my life. Notice it has hammers as well. You get used to them... What is not readily apparent is that it is a muzzle loader. It's a "10 gauge", in that it is bored to use modern 10 gauge components that are normally loaded in a hull, so it's really an 11 gauge. This was my main "go-to" shotgun for everything from geese to grouse, at least until non-toxic shot requirements eliminated it from the blind. Then, to add insult to injury, several years ago all of our pheasant hunting went "non-toxic" as well, reducing it to a grouse and quail gun. Finally, though, I found muzzle loader safe non-toxic shot, so we are back fully in business. This thing will throw a two ounce cloud of shot that you just would not believe...



So, yeah, side by sides rock. I love 'em. They handle like no other shotgun.
