Saku;
On an 1907 hammerless drilling of unknown German make with side safety (safety lever operates up & down rather than fore & aft, so not sure if technically correct to call it a Greener) it matters not whether hammers are cocked or not. Has been a long time since I have looked inside, but as I recall it is simply a rod across the stock with two notches cut. The upward projection of the triggers rest against this rod preventing being pulled until the notches are rotated over the triggers, when enough movement is allowed to trip the sears. I believe the original Greener safety has a similar set-up. It sounds as if your Krieghoff has sear blocking safeties & the characteristics you describe are probably a desighn feature & not a malfunction. Hopefully someone more familar with the Krieghoff drillings though can either confirm or refute this, as I have no personal knowledge of this design.
