4seventy, you are absolutely correct on all counts! What I meant was, when a hunter fires the rifle in a fight, it will be recocked when broken, and does not have to be recocked manually.

As you say, if the rifle is broken WITHOUT fireing, or pushing the "SAFETY" forward, then it is not recocked on opening. It is of little conceren to the shooter if the strikers are lowered, or the spring pressure is relieved, the fact is the rifle is de-cocked! The place where this system is safer that a conventional hammerless double is when the conventionl double is placed ON SAFE, the internal hammers are only blocked,and still under pressure, but are fully cocked, When the Krieghoff is place ON SAFE the rifle is un-cocked, because the spring pressure is relieved. In this state, the Krieghoff is safer that the conventional double , IMO!

Why I said the system was misunderstood is, because everyone seems to think, mistakenly, when shot 1, and 2 are fired, it is then necessary to re-cock with the safety after reloading the chambers, before you can fire shot three, and four! This isn't the case, because the SAFETY is in the forward position before the 1st, and 2nd shots can be fired, and the rifle is re-cocked on opening.
