There are those who think my method is unorthadox and even unsafe, but I can assure them that my method is at least as safe as shooting/hunting with a hammerless gun with a safety.
When I enter the field or woods, and when I'm in position at the traps, I will drop the shells into the chambers, cock both hammers and close the gun only when I'm walking in to the flush or when I'm about to call "Pull!" This way I don't have to think about cocking my gun in a hurried or stressful situation.
When I have taken my shot or shots, I open the gun and repeat the process.
