There are those who think my method is unorthadox and even unsafe, but I can assure them that my method is at least as safe as shooting/hunting with a hammerless gun with a safety.
When I enter the field or woods, and when I'm in position at the traps, I will drop the shells into the chambers, cock both hammers and close the gun only when I'm walking in to the flush or when I'm about to call "Pull!" This way I don't have to think about cocking my gun in a hurried or stressful situation.
When I have taken my shot or shots, I open the gun and repeat the process.

Dean i agree with you and your method. At the target traps most guns have a manual safety that is never used and in some guns they are not there at all. A hammerless gun the moment it is closed is ready to fire, no different than a hammer gun.

In the field what is the difference between releasing a safety catch or closing the action at the flush? None i would think, both take a safe gun to one ready to fire at the same instant. Carrying hammers cocked, action closed would be the same as hammerless carried safety off.
They are equally safe used your way.

I think its natural to cock the offside hammer first, being that with the onside hammer down(uncocked) you can just pull down with your thumb. With the onside hammer cocked it makes you move your whole hand to cock the offside hammer

shoot quite a few hammer guns, for me its always right then left( Im right handed).
