I have 2 Smiths with HOT triggers, both work properly and I have had no issues with them. Out of curiosity I tried to "fire" one barrel and attempt to return the safety to "SAFE". Neither gun, a 1912 3E or a 1927 Specialty Grade would allow me to return to "SAFE" having fired only one chamber. This doesn't bother me as I use both of these guns for targets where 2 shells are fired.
