They are my favorite weapon in 90's FPS.

Depends entirely on what you're trying to use them for.
>are they shitty guns?
"double barrel shotgun" is a genre, not a brand, make, or model. Some are shit, some are not, some are fucking works of art.

As a general rule, any O/U or SxS shotgun made in Eastern Europe or South America is crudely constructed from inferior materials and will have a short lifespan measured in hundreds of rounds, whereas O/U or SxS shotguns made in America or Western Europe are well-made with multi-generational lifespans measured in hundreds of thousands of rounds.

Depends if you get hammerless vs hammers.

> are they shitty guns?
They're range toys or fudd hunting. They're not practical other than being able to fire both barrels at once if you have a two trigger model. Semis will still be better.

I only bought one because I've got a raging hard-on for old wooden shotguns

My grandfather hunted for decades with one until he got sent to the gulag in the 70s.

According to him, the quality varied quite a bit depending on brand.

Top teir shit like holland and holland is so good he said its almost a pity to beat it up innawoods.

He had some midrange brand from germany back in the day. Started with a k, keller? Dunno. At any rate, a well made double barrel shotgun can outlast you, and two rounds before reload is enough for most hunting purposes. Two rounds is also generally what you have for skeet competitions.

As a general rule, they tend to be pretty light and handy compared to semi or pump guns because there are fewer parts.

Any particular brands you're a fan of>?

Are they fun? Indeed. Especially when you load them with black powder loads. BP can be a pain to clean up but it is super easy in shotguns. Plus reloading brass is simple if you get the right hulls and primers.

i had a double barrel sidexside 16ga that I inherited/legacy'd from family.
it was fun to shoot, but something about transitioning from pump to double didn't connect for me so I couldn't hit shit. it somehow had worse recoil than my 12ga, but i'd blame a rock hard buttplate over anything

if you put your skeet time in, they're very rewarding guns for bird hunting and rabbits

They're fucking great, but only if the barrels are 20" or less.

Open both eyes, know which trigger fires which barrel and adjust accordingly. Any semi-decently made non-modern sxs will have the barrels fixed together to help correct their "parallel aim" slightly, so just git gud. Fgt
