Cocking one hammer will, but most folks (including me)can't safely thumb'em both back while mounting the gun. If your thumb slips off a hammer part way back the gun goes boom! On surprise birds I cock the right hammer as I mount the gun to shoot. When I have a pointed covey I cock both hammers and keep the gun pointed in a safe direction as I flush the birds. That's my experience anyhow...Geo
