Stoeger Double Defense, Range Report

[Guest ScottD]

So Sunday I was able to take the DD out to my friends land and fire off some rounds.

BIG PROBLEMS!

This is the single trigger version of the DD.

First load. First trigger pull, BANG!

Second Trigger pull, wasn't really a pull, nothing happened.

After recocking and going through the motion a few times, we finally got it to fire the second round.

The day continues on, and we are shooting the DD frequently. I was shooting target loads. Pulled the trigger, and the things nailed me hard. I had to double check I was shooting target loads, because it felt like 00 buck.

My friend mentioned it didn't sound right. After opening the breach we realized both shells had fired at once. 1 trigger pull, 2 bangs. Big trouble.

This occurred 3 or 4 more times while we were out there. Needless to say the gun is going back to Stoeger. I don't feel like owning a shot gun that decides to become illegal every now and again.

I will report back when I get the fixed/new DD from Stoeger.

That's not good! I have an older Stoeger Condor that is a great shooter! I hope this is a not a reoccuring problem. It was something I had my eye on. Not that I could afford it at the moment.
