>>The 9478 has a single-action trigger mechanism with an exposed hammer. >>To open and close it safely, the hammer should be in the half-cock position. > >If I understand correctly, to reload this gun after firing, you must >half-cock it, open it, manually remove the spent shell case and put in >a new one, close it, and then cock it fully. How tiresome does that >get, either when target shooting or actually out hunting?For target shooting, not really at all. For hunting, I don't know, I've never done it. Anyway, rapid fire is not really a thing with this kind of gun, and if you're taking your time anyway, there being a few steps in the process doesn't really make a difference. If it works right, anyway. I once spent some time with a bolt-action rifle that had a habit of tearing off the cartridge case heads instead of extracting cleanly, and that was the most annoying thing in the world. When everything's working properly, though, I tend to find the process kind of meditative. It's worth keeping in mind, too, how jaw-droppingly swift the process of reloading, even of a non-repeating firearm like this, or a rolling-block Remington, or the like, is in comparison to what came before them. Any cartridge firearm* is, by nature, going to be so much faster and less labor-intensive to reload than its muzzle-loading ancestors that, in any non-tactical situation, finding the process onerous feels a bit like ingratitude. :) --G. * well, OK, except an 1895 Nagant -><- Benjamin D.
