I just picked up a Stoeger SXS 12g Uplander Supreme.
Question 1.
When I break the action, the safety is automatically engaged. To disengage the safety..obviously you just slide the lever forward.
However, the safety switch also slides left and right. What does this function do? I thought it was a barrel selector, but each setting allows me to pull the single trigger two times...thus firing each barrel back to back. What is the point of sliding this lever to the left or to the right?
Question 2. The barrels are threaded to accept chokes. It only came with one set of chokes screwed in...If I want to buy additional chokes, do I just buy Winchester chokes? Is there a certain kind of winchester choke?? or will any suffice??
Where is the best online store to purchase chokes from?
Question 3: Is it safe to leave this gun loaded for home defense? Or will the hammer springs wear out?? If hammer springs wear out is this an inexpensive fix at the gunsmith?
Thanks.
