Wonder why then that the fishtail toplever was devised if not to allow opening with the right hammer cocked? They sure do add a lot of character though, eh?

I myself think that my fishtail guns are classier.

Try cocking the hammers after opening the action. I tried several and all the fishtails allowed cocking after opening. The straight levers would not cock.
