I rarely cock my hammers with the action closed, especially if I'm cold. If I cock them with the action closed I try to put the palm of my hand between the hammer and the firing pin as I do, just in case something goes awry. Deans right also; if you shoot just one barrel and if you can, open the gun immediately rather than trying to lower a hammer. Some hammer guns will not open with the right hammer back; mine won't. It's true also that hammer guns are absolutely addicting. There's something about them that appeals to the Dan'l Boone in us I guess...or maybe we were all stagecoach drivers in a past life....
