Actually I like the double trigger set up. You can either just pull the actual trigger (with a hard pull) or pull the set trigger when you are ready to shoot and then the shooting trigger becomes a "hair" trigger. I like this set up because you only pull the set trigger when it is aimed at a targer and then the hair trigger helps me prevent flinching. Watch Quigley Down Under again. If he uses one it must be OK!

Be advised, any of the trigger guards, especially the elaborate ones, can be knucle knockers. My renegade has some areas behind the trigger for your fingers, but when I put them there the gun recoil tends to hurt my fingers. I may just not know how to hold it right, but after a few knuckle busting times, I don't put my fingers behind the trigger guard.

Also, if you are at all recoil shy, I would recommend an add on recoil pad. I got a slip on Limbsaver recoil pad and it has made a big difference. before that, I would have a bruised shoulder and sore neck for a few days after shooting. I think it also helps me not flinch.
