It is simple enough. The Bearer carries a Krieghoff, loaded and uncocked.

Though I have a Krieghoff, I'm not that crazy about the safety, but it is the best for the second gun. Though not traditional I can grab that second double if needed a lot faster than trying to load an empty rifle. And in a hurry, the Krieghoff safety is oporated without any second thought.

Though this my offend the traditionalists, there is hardly any argument conceivable against it.
