I just shot my old Krieghoff drilling I sold to a friend in a field this afternoon. It is a little bit older than Mike's (I am guessing!), proofed in 1919, and features a Greener style safety. I agree there is a slight additional wrist movement with the side safety. It didn't matter shooting clays but I could envision additional effort in the grouse woods, particularly the mountainous areas I hunt.
