Those are two beautiful drillers. My old Sauer gave up "pretty" many years ago. However, I sure like the hammers and the three barrels of shotgun capability. When shooting preserve birds, I select the lower .410 barrel, cock and shoot. Recock and move lever to the left to shoot the two 16 gauge barrels. It happens way quicker than you think. A successful .410 shot on a big cockbird always draws attention from your partner. It is an interesting routine to practice on a skeet field, although I don't think I've ever done it. Your puller sends a single, then a slow report pair of doubles. I have shot skeet with a mix of 16s and .410s though. Unfortunately, you have to move the top lever between shots on doubles.

Bill, That reminds me of the day I took out my Otto Geiger, made by Merkel, with my dad. A nice plump cock went up and all I heard was 'click'. Instinctively, I pushed the selector forward, from years of double gun shooting.
My dad got the bird and all I got was a ribbing.
I assume you're shooting the .410s out of the 11mm barrel. Are they plastic wad .410s?
