That is exactly the thought which occurred to me, since Krieghoff's claim of a stronger S/S action is based on there being no cuts in the water table to accomodate cocking rods/levers. Their solution to the cocking problem is to use a thumb activated cocking slide, which is far harder to actuate than a lever. It is the same principle they employ in their drillings with separate rifle barrel cocking, except that in a drilling, only one hammer needs to be cocked. Other systems used a separate side lever to perform the same task, leaving the tang safety in the traditional place.

I'm not sure how much sense this makes, since the real stress point on the action is the junction of the face and the water table, but there it is. A little spring in the water table might lessen the stress on the junction. Probably the best solution, if not the most aesthetically pleasing, is the Jaeger system used by Blaser and Merkel.

Thanks for your contribution.
