Michael McIntosh was quite proud of closing his double by holding it, muzzle down and raising the butt with the other hand, as 2-piper said. This is seen on the very nice tape of M.Mc. shooting with the late Jack Mitchell. Odd that he would then write that retarding the lever was "the correct way". As to what Dez Young did in one scene, on one show, is hardly his regular habit. The only reason I suggested watching how Dez duz it, at all, is because there are some who refuse to, or can't read and might be able to understand it better if it's on TV. Be sure to click the off button before the "singing" starts. JL
