if the gun is for "real" use get a pump action. the double stove pipe guns -- the cheap ones are problem prone.

some double fire --instead of firing one tube, others discharge if their dropped, some slip off half cock and discharge. i have seen quite a few of them that had very soft metal and many break open when firing even one tube--

a lot of folks buy them to tinker with or use as wall hangers.

there is a reason good double guns cost real money --and it ain't just for the name.

a poorly made iron ain't worth much , that the reason their dumped on the market so inexpensively.

a cheap pump actions are free of most of these issues and if a problem comes up it is easy to fix compared to the double gun.
