That is true, Jim. Some of my Model 21s are still so tight that by looking at the lever you can tell that they aren't closed. Then you have no choice. When my Berettas were new, they were hard to close. That is why I went to the smiths and reps directly at the Grand American. A new gun loosens up after a while though. But when you release the lever if you do it the way Dez Young did it on last week's show, you shouldn't have any problems. He is so fast, sometimes you don't catch how he does it. I close mine a little slower and a little more pronounced. By coincidence, the American Rifleman show with Larry Potterfield, founder and owner of Midway USA was on again today and showed the proper way to open and close a double. The show should be on again Saturday at 9:30 pm on OLN.
