Mark, there have been a lot of discussions here by people using various methods of hunting with guns with exposed hammers and there have been many opinions expressed concerning safe and safer methods. Some carry the gun with the hammers down; others carry with both hammers cocked but with the gun open while still others carry with muzzles up, hammers cocked and trigger hand cupping the trigger guard completely to prevent a branch or twig from tripping a trigger. I use the third method when stepping into a covert and open the gun when I step out of the covert. Some have said they wouldn't hunt with someone who uses my method.
