I too like the idea of the rifle being un-cocked when carried with the chambers loaded. I have several Hammer doubles, and I love hunting with them because of being able to carry them loaded without worry about shooting someone!

I agree with you about useing two or three different systems, and the problem of forgetting which is in your hands at any one time! I haven't had a problem with this, however, because I never take two types on the same hunt, and i usually practice quite a bit with the rifle I intend useing before the hunt. This practice, by the time the hunt starts, has made me do things automaticly, so isn't a problem.

The Safety slide on the Krieghoff does move quite far, about a full inch, and requires some effort, but the button is quite large, and the whole first pad of the thumb can be used. This is only done one time, however, at the bigining of the action, and takes less time to work than to cock both hammers on a hammer double!
