Giacomo told me the same thing for a Perazzi, hold the top lever to the right until the action is closed, then let go; I guess the theory is to save on locking bolt wear. English gunmakers say just close the action, esp with self openers believing the locking bolt needs to fully engage in the bite. After all the conflicting info, I’m still not sure which way is best, but I’ve abandoned holding the lever and just gently close the action.

Socialism is almost the worst.
