I'm fortunate to own a petite German drilling (16 x 16 over 9.3x72R) that has hammers that I can actually cock simultanously.

Talk about petite, I sold a cute little Krieghoff hammer sidelock 28x28x25WCF at the Vintagers a few years back. The rifle firing pin was fired by the left hammer, through and interrupter block on a lever.
Being a southpaw, all the rules go out the window, but I use the right barrel for the close-in shots, and use the left for the miss (more often than not on our partridge)
