So I've been trying to learn blender, and I wanted to make a gun model. I got a reference image, and I've been trying to merge some vertices in a way that looks like this:

Unfortunately, the result looks like that:

I could make it the hard way and connect the vertices from both sides like this: https://i.gyazo.com/cac033f1ca0cc122a8bbcd666a763564.mp4
But it isn't really effective. Is there a way around it, or do I have to do it like that everytime? Sorry If my english is broken, but I hope you'll understand what I mean.
Thanks in advance!
edit: I've been trying to make that the images show up without entering the external links, but I couldn't do that, sorry!
