The shotgun is the typical hunting weapon of the hunting tradition of some countries such as Italy, France, England. Since the last century it has been produced according to two distinct types: with visible external dogs and with invisible or “hammerless” internal dogs.
Le shotguns modern triggers have, as an alternative to the two traditional triggers, a single trigger (single trigger) and automatic extractors upon opening that expel the fired case. Beyond these actual improvements, the side-by-side shotguns have not had a great development compared to those of our grandparents since this was an already born good shotgun.
The shotgun is an effective hunting tool.
It has two barrels with different bottlenecks.
By simply opening it we can ascertain whether it is charged or discharged.
When open to overcome an obstacle it is absolutely safe.
With the same barrel length, the side-by-side is shorter than automatic shotguns, which makes it more manageable and balanced.
It has the considerable advantage of always allowing the hunter to choose with which barrel and therefore with which choke to fire on the target. It also has a safe located behind the key that can be easily activated or deactivated.
The advantages of the shotgun lie in the purpose for which it was designed: the stalking hunt. It is fast in sudden aiming due to the wide base formed by the two rods and the rib.
Double to outside hammers
The side-by-side hammers with external hammers have firing pins, called hammers, placed behind the breech. When the trigger is activated, the hammers spring forward hitting the firing pins which strike the cartridge. This type of shotgun has no safety; the safety is engaged by lowering the dogs.
Hunting side-by-side with internal dogs type "HOLLAND HOLLAND"
The Holland & Holland type internal hammer side-by-side has the percussion mechanism on the outer plate. The side-by-side shotgun of this type is a high quality shotgun due to the high level of manpower employed in its production cycle.
Hunting side-by-side with internal dogs type "PURDEY" and "ANSON DEELEY"
The side-by-side shotgun type Purdey and Anson Deeley “Hammerless” was born as the first alternative to the side-by-side shotgun. It is not a recent rifle, Purdey developed the mechanism since 1866 and today it is the principle even more used in the side-by-side firearm.
