I have seen long threads discussing the operation of a hammer gun in the field. I would like to read those threads again. As for Aldo's Fox, I think that he hunted quail behind steady pointing dogs and had no interest in shooting wild flushing birds. In my opinion, he loaded his gun after his dogs went on point. Nash claimed that he loaded his gun only when he was ready to shoot. I don't really believe that statement. I just think he was muzzle conscious and didn't rest his finger on the trigger.
