Jim,

Yes, you push them forward to set them. Seems to be that the continental makers did like to have those, even I do not quite undertand the reason, especially on these sidelock DR's, on where the triggers do have already an excellent and grisp pull by itself. Like stated, never even being trying to have both of those set and cocked and not even use usually for single shots, as not doing good for the shoulder and to the fingers, if the shot goes a bit too earlier than you'd like thought with 450 NE.
