Hi Parker
There has been a lot written about hammer gun etiquette over the years. My personal view is firstly I prefer to use hammer guns with rebounding locks rather than none rebounding locks, always and with no exceptions the hammers in the safe position down unless you are imminently about to shoot. Firstly I was taught and it was insisted upon if you used a hammer gun what would now be describe as the old Brit etiquette you bring a hammer to full cock at the same time you bring the gun to your shoulder to shoot, you were expected to practice this until you could do it in one easy movement. If you unfortunately missed you partly lowered the gun from your shoulder so the barrels are pointing skyward and brought the other hammer to full cock and then re shouldered the gun for the second shot. Finally if you shouldered the gun with a hammer at full cock and did not shoot you where to let the hammer down as you removed the gun from the shoulder in the same practiced one easy movement.
I still use this hammer gun safety etiquette today and over the years I have found no good reason to change.
