Wear on doubles usually is on the hinge parts, the breech and the firing pins. The more or less universal single trigger means no change there, tho the sear for the bbl may wear out faster than if the firing were split between the bbls.

With a quality double(the only kind worth having) this is a non issue unless you're up in the case of shells/wk club. If so, you should be inured to having the thing rebuilt every so often.
