Very nice Daly Joe! Birds should be proud to be taken with that double. I carry my hammer guns closed and my hand right behind the hammers. Cock on the rise first barrel of choice and then cock the second hammer if needed and remount. 2-piper's point about a barrel check is worth thinking about as carried open the pressure on the barrel lug can cause it to work loose. I've had to have two nice guns put right after the lugs became loose. One was just a bad solder job on a sleeved gun , the other, not sure but I can see where pressure from the open barrels could cause it to loosen.
