Maybe so if stored dry, but if stored with loaded chambers & hammers down, I see little difference relative to a pump stored cruiser ready.

What appeals to me in the SxS exposed hammer, double trigger shotgun for HD/SD is:
1. Simpler manual of arms relative to other repeaters
2. Store loaded indefinitely with no springs compressed
3. Lighter and shorter than pump or semi with same length bbl
4. Capability to use shorty buckshot & slug shells with no impact on function

I ended up building my wife a HD shotgun with a 12ga 870 Police Magnum using some innovative bits that she (as a smaller woman) could shoot relatively easily. But it would have been a straighter path with a double-barrel, double-trigger, exposed hammer shotgun. And the end product would have been lighter and shorter.
