Quote:

German doubles are adjusted by the factory for firing the right/front trigger barrel first. As the front trigger has less leverage than the aft one, it is usually set up with less sear engagement to achieve apparently similar pulls. If you insist on firing the left/wrong barrel first, you will have to change the sear engagement.




I didn't know that - kind of makes sense but does present a risk for the user if they are not aware (has anyone had the mis-fortune of going double with live rounds in both barrels?). Is this documented anywhere that you are aware of? (how did you get this info?) I did find a copy of a users manual on the web for the Merkel but it doesn't mention this at all.

Edit: I have requested a parts breakdown/dissassembly manual from Merkel and will also chase this up with them when I make contact.
