Carrying a gun with hammers back gives me the willies. Same as walking around with the safety off on a non-hammer-gun.

Count me in the "cock one hammer on the rise" group. I'll cock both hammers on a dove or duck hunt when I see birds coming.

If I do not shoot both barrels, I'll open the gun on the ones that will allow it and let the hammer down that way. Usually, even with the hammer guns that do not allow clearance to open while the right hammer is back, that's the barrel I shoot first and can still open the gun with the left hammer back...Geo
