Anti double load is really necessary ?
- Thread starter Spider92
- Start date
It’s definitely a very nice feature to have. Ultimately I don’t buy the gun just because of having that feature, but, yeah it’s nice to have. I have double loaded a couple times or more before.
A nececity? Guess that would be up for debate depending whom you ask.

I created this topic to know how people think? As for me, I would appreciate much more than guns using automatic rotation magazine from the Napoleon period.!

I did it a few times when i first got mine, then i learned what made it happen. Then avoided doing that, not really a game changer for me. Nice to have but not necessary imo.

Right, that up there is how/what I think. To be clear, my comment I don’t buy my guns based on this feature” is not a put down on your thoughts on this, rather an honest answer of how I feel. Given the same set of circumstances, I would choose the gun with the anti-double loading feature. However, I have higher/different priorities.

It's actually awesome to have. Kudos to those manufacturer that have done it. All should, especially the high end offerings.

Hmmm..... for me it's a nice to have feature but not a requirement for purchase. Trigger, barrel, power, capacity, etc all rate higher on my priority list.
As far as magazines go I thought the spring loaded ones were cool when I bought my first Prod, but have grown to appreciate the good old revolver style mags that don't crush pellets more. KISS

No not needed imo, but for some absent minded old dudes like me, its ok, but a mixed bag...
Many anti double load devices tend to cause issues with mag feed imo, mag clipping, and accuracy suffers in some...
After a shot I never cock my gun again till ready to shoot, if the shot is not taken when hunting, I will take a 'check zero shot' just to empty the chamber and leave the hammer spring under no tension. When in doubt if a pellet is in the chamber, I always take another 'check zero shot' to see. Pellets are cheap compared to having a stack of pellets to remove out of your barrel...

You're hunting. You load a fresh mag with your favorite projectiles. You have the gun cocked and one chambered. You can de-cock and the gun is safe with a projectile ready. When you're ready to shoot just cock and shoot without the worry of double loading. It's a nice feature. Your gun isn't cocked with the HS needlessly fully compressed for possibly hours. Anyway, that alone is nice much less the avoidance of a mishap double-load.

Rather than anti-double load, I'd prefer to see some simple visible indication that a pellet is out of the magazine and in the breech. The Wildcat's inability to put the gun on safe when not cocked is simple and works well for me. That magazine is the best on the market IMO.

I like my Colibri with that feature. But, not a requirement for me.
The Kalibrgun Cricket .35 cal. has an auto advance feature. Can't just decock it and recock. That sucks!
It will advance to load another one.
Double loading a .22 or a .25 cal. is one thing.......

Agree with zx10wall it's a nice feature to have. I didn't realize how useful anti-double load could be
until I got my Taipan Veteran .
I find it 'specially useful when hunting.
Must note too the AGT Vulcan has a "cocked" indicator button at the end of the breach that shows red when cocked.

I have an inexpensive Hammerli 850. Being handicapped I don't always have the strength to get the bolt all the way back on first pull. anti-double loading would benefit me, although I have learned how to avoid it most times.

I have 2x Colibri;s (hummingbird) & 2x 's Zbroia Kozak's, & 5 x's P-rods & a Impact(was Ernest Rowe's personal gun), also had a new Wildcat , sold it..all I shoot anymore are the Kozak's , by far the easiest to load , no double loading , also can remove mag at anytime to load & re insert ,IF I would have had the Kozak 's before all of the other s mentioned, I wouldn't have so may a/guns. & yes I have double loaded the P-rod's many times, it sucks..

Not a big issue for me. Did it a few times starting out. Know better now. IMHO, just something else that can go wrong. It would add cost to weapons that are already expensive to start. If offered as a freebie i would consider it, but if it cost more no.

Not necessary, but nice to have? For me it’s a non-issue, not saying it hasn’t happened to me. You learn what “not” to do and the issue goes away.
