Bonde, I never hunted elephant but hunted small game for many years with SXS percussion double shotguns and hammered SXS breech loading shotguns. I found it was very difficult, after firing the right barrel, to cock the left lock for a quick follow up shot. I would usually have to drop the gun from my shoulder to reach accross to the left lock, cock, and then remount and fire....My solution was to carry the gun with my right hand wrapped around the wrist with my thumb on the left hammer. when the game presented its self I cocked the left hammer as I raised the gun, then I fired the left barrel, and upon recoil I then cocked the right barrel. It became one fluid motion and I got pretty quick at it. It worked very well as I never got mauled by a wounded rabbit or a rampaging squirrel....Ed
