One thing I would suggest is that you check to be sure whatever gun you buy has hammers which do not block the top lever when they're cocked. At times you will want to un-cock the hammers with loaded chambers.
If you can break open the gun and let the hammers down so they can't slip and fire on a loaded chamber you're much safer. That's especially true when you are just becoming famiar with your new hammer gun.
The Swedish Husqvarna guns have that advantage. Your best bet might be the model 50 or 51 instead of the less expensive older models with the lefaucheux action...Geo
