Good point on the hammer issue 500 nitro. Something I had not considered. I have never been around a back hammer action and somewhat assumed they had a safe quartercock position similar to my percussion muzzleloaders or leverguns.

A hammer gun on the half cock with the sliding lock in place is supposed to be "safe", but somehow I just can't bring myself to think of them that way (as in safe).
Too many things sticking out to get caught IMHO.
I use / have used hammer guns to shoot geese in the NT
and we sometimes have a hammer gun out with the Buffalo as well.
