Upland and Hammer guns

[C.O.B.]

I have tried to carry the gun cocked and open but the shells have a tendancy to fall out, some carry the gun closed, cocked with their hand placed between the hammers and the fireing pins. I think Dean does it this way. I use a pointing dog and can cock the hammers when I walk in to flush the bird.

Good luck with the Boswell this fall.

Thanks for the question Jack. I'll be going after quail in a couple of weeks and I'm also taking my hammer guns. And I was pondering the same question, I like Richard's answer since I'll be behind pointers.
And I'll get to use the Filsons I got from you.
