It does take a bit of learning but is pretty easy with some practice. With no driven shooting which an be fast and furious their is plenty of time to cock on the rise, same as slipping off the safety. I cock the hammer of choice on the mount and drop the butt to cock the other if needed and remount. A problem on the mount can be corrected in the few seconds it takes to cock and remount. Many times with a hammerless trying to connect with the 2'nd barrel and a poor mount results on a miss anyway. Unlike a hammerless gun it is only cocked when presented to fire a shot. Going through heavy cover I move my hand up behind the hammer's to be sure the hammers do not get cocked inadvertently on brush. They take a bit of a mental shift but pose no problems with practice. It is important to have a precise fit between the bent and sear for a safe pull. Clean but not too light. I have never had a hammer slip off from recoil. Just do not get sloppy hooking the hammer. Use a good portion of your thumb to hook it securely and hammer guns can be really great hunting arms.
