The better English sidelocks (& their clones) might be the safest (with their intercepting safeties) but Mr. Romig is correct, if the hammer cannot reach the shell, it can't go off.

If you can safely bridge the hammers and cock them upon mounting the gun then that would be the superior way to do it but...most cannot do it safely or effectively. All I can muster is one hammer quickly, which is usually sufficient (if I'm hunting with a partner or partners w/dogs). Safety is paramount here and no bird is worth an accident.
