Hi all and thanks for the great responses. I think that OWD maybe the common sense way of closing. While I have always closed mine by riding the lever (I stll do and will when I'm done cleaning and storing the gun). But I think when out hunting with shells in the chamber closing the gun like OWD may be the ticket, after all I've always wondered about the gun being closed tight enough.

Anyone else care to comment?

Thanks again!!
