Hey!! Don't blame me!! Someone ask a long time ago what is the proper way to close a double with a lever and I only gave references of who told me or what I read or saw. And I told how I closed my guns. Larry Potterfield, Michael McIntosh, the smiths and sales reps from, Beretta, Browning, Perazzi, Kreighoff--- the smith at Beretta literally took my 686 from my hands opened it, held the lever over, closed it and then released the lever. I have never seen any such books from (my) Berettas or anyone else to say any different so don't give me any horsedroppings about showing me something. All along I heard that Dez Young closes his guns properly and then when I show you a close up of him closing it properly, uh-oh, all of a sudden he's wrong. HA-HA. I had to laugh when I saw that. I have watched him on several occassions closing his gun like this. Sorry. Now all of these people against.....hmmmmm.... how did you put it joe?....... Retardings? I'll do like they say and use them as a reference whenever I'm asked. Sorry about your luck. LOL.
