Been looking at combo/cape hammer guns and it seemed most I looked at had the rifle barrel on the right side. This would mean it would be fired by the front trigger and fired first. I am curious if there was a reason this was done.
The reason I ask is that it would seem to make more sense to have the rifle on the left side as it would make it easier for a right handed shooter to cock the right hammer more quickly when snap shooting upland birds or waterfowl. I would think since you typically have more time the rifle barrel would be on the left.
Anyone have any idea why most of these guns (Hammer or Hammerless) seem to have the rifle barrel on the right side?
Thanks,
