Any stocker can either make you a straight hand to your dims or modify one you have where are you?

 

Personally get one made and keep it when you sell the gun!

 

You could of course for similar money to a new high grade beretta/browning have a chapuis or one or two other guns (William Powell do one) made to your spec

I have a Merkel (sidelock) o/u with straight hand stock and double triggers - its a combination that works very well for me and I prefer it to a single trigger. I also have a (near identical) Merkel with a single trigger and (slim) POW grip, but somehow it doesn't quite have the same 'natural' feel as the double trigger version; However - I spent the first 10 years of my shooting career with double triggers .......

 

I would love to have AA Brown adapt my (double trigger pistol grip) Beretta to the Brown Beretta specification, but I think I probably need at least a minor win on the lottery first!

AA Brown & Son do a 'Brown Beretta' which is a customised Beretta. I imagine, because it has a lot of hand work it will be 'an investment' in terms of cost ....... but it will be done to an exceptional standard. http://www.losgi.com/brown-beretta-04049.html

Saw this link just in time. I had a special order 687EELL with a straight hand (double triggers) and as posted elsewhere, found it to be like the shaft on Thor's hammer at the hand and was going to post a warning to that effect. However, the one in the Link does look entirely different.

I have a 57EL which I think is similar to the 687EELL - that has the standard Beretta pistol grip and single trigger. Whilst it operates perfectly, it doesn't have the same feel of 'agility' of the double trigger straight hand Merkel. (appreciate they are different guns, but they weigh about the same and both have 28" barrels).

Agree entirely. Had one for a short time but it had to go back as it was defective. Shame, lovely guns. Can't wait to see how the C35 turns out.

See if you can beg, steal or borrow a sidelock Merkel (model 203E or 303E). Despite looking slightly 'overweight', they actually have very central weight concentration (and are also fairly reasonable weight despite the bulk) giving exceptionally agile and beguiling handling. In my opinion they are one of the great second hand bargains to be had, as they are (justifiably in view of the build quality) expensive new, but have poor second hand value and can be acquired second hand for a fraction of the original cost. There is a review here http://www.shootinguk.co.uk/reviews/shotgun/merkel-303-20-bore-shotgun-review
