Liked the idea of hammer guns and bought an old Walter Betts.

Would not walk with one,much less both, hammers cocked, found the notion of walking with the action open unacceptable.

Learned that the sensible thing is to own a hammer gun so made that you could: a) cock both hammers with your thumb at a covey rise; b) open the gun with the hammers cocked in case you did not get a shot and wanted to remove cartridges to most safely lower the hammers.
