I will post comments after shooting it. My understanding is that when you break open the barrels, it go to a 1/2 cock situation, and then you must finish cocking with the safety. It is easy to cock with the safety and does not take much of a push to get it to full cock position. It will be 2 or 3 weeks before I go shoot it, I am tied up with a lot of extra work at the moment. It should ease up in a couple of weeks though. I will let you know.

Sorry to tell you it doesn't go to half cock, but remains uncocked till you re-cock it after breaking it open after firing. The opening of the rifle automaticly un-cocks the rifle. This is the same as an auto safety on a standard double rifle, but cannot be disabled. The Krieghoff does re-cock the rifle after fireing, and breaking the rifle, so that all one has to do is fire two more shots without doing anything other than aim, and pull the triggers! If you re-load the Krieghoff, and do not intend fireing it again, then the de-cocker must be manually pushed slightly forward, and released, de-cocking the rifle, for safe carry! The Blazer de-cocks it's self every time you open it.

Still, I hope you like your new rifle when you get it, and do not have trouble with it, either machanicly, or forgetting the re-cock after a re-load in a tight spot!
