The perceived more difficult loading of the bottom barrel is no more than the additional agility needed for loading the left barrel of a S x S by a right handed man, IMO. After having put over 9K rounds through a Beretta 687 SPII in Argentina, over the course of 8 days, I can honestly say that I can remember no real additional difficulty in loading the bottom barrel over the top.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
