Went on a quail hunt today with an old LC Smith hammer gun. 32 inch fluid steel barrels (reamed out to imp cyl/mod). What a blast walking up behind the dogs and hearing that big "click,click" as the hammers come back.
I thought for sure I would miss a few shots tugging at the triggers without cocking the hammers, but I didn't. It was a little bit of a hassle opening the gun and dropping the hammers if I didn't shoot or only shot once. I am glad I always opened the gun though as one time I held the right hammer and tripped the back trigger. With the gun open it was only an oops, not a bang.
