Every time you fire one barrel, it sets for the "other" barrel the next time you close the gun to fire it. If you fire both barrels, you are OK, and it returns to the original selection. It definitely takes some getting used to. The advantage I have found in the Infallible trigger is that all of mine work, unusual for single triggers.

Bill, thanks again for explaining how an Infallible single trigger works. Your explanation made sense, and I pulled out and read some old Infallible advertisements that I had kept. It certainly operates differently than all of my other single triggers. I went over to the gun club this afternoon and tried a few more shots and it works great. Your guidance will give me the confidence to go after the partridge (grouse) this Fall. Jeff

The trigger will never be a problem if you "load both barrels".

Yes sir. Lesson learned

Bill, yesterday I went woodcock hunting with “Foxnut” and his wonderful dog Rose. Thanks to your instruction, the Infallible trigger worked flawlessly. I missed every bird, but the trigger worked great.

No misses Steggy, you are just hitting where they ain't!

Leaves and doodles can make for tough shooting.

One of my Lancaster Trigger guns is a Prussian Daly 10 gauge hammer gun. It was a Maryland shooter's competition pigeon gun, has his name and town, Crumpton, Queen Anne's county engraved on the rib. In addition to the Infallible trigger, it has a professionally made beavertail forend. It is mentioned in a testimonial in a Lancaster catalog (folder). It is the strangest competition gun I have ever seen, with modern style additions on a Damascus barrel hammer gun. The shooter's records are recorded in late 1800 and early 1900's shooting periodicals. It was well cared for and stored for probably 140 years, and is in high condition today.
