I use my right hand and thumb and cock the left hammer first then the right when ready to fire. I leave the hammers at the first sear when walking or stalking. However I must take exception to the statement about hunting DG with hammer guns. I know its your opinion, and I respect that, but if your saying this due to some concern about quick shots or reloading; I submit that anyone can shoot four rounds faster with a Marlin 1895G (Lever Gun)than any double rifle made. NOT two rounds but four, which is I think your concern. You can always shoot two rounds fastest with a double. But if your concerned is with more than two shots, nothing beats a lever action gun for speed shooting. IMHO of course.

And yes I understand the Marlin comes in the 45-70, which is light for DG; unless using Garret or Buff Bore ammo. Also I would, if using this gun, have it re-chambered to either .457 Alaskan or .50 Alaskan. Both able to produce ~4000fpe. But there is probably some weird law that says you can't use a 45-70 or round that produces with factory ammo less than X amount of FPE on DG.

For the above argument, we have to agree that the hunt is more important than the weapon being used. For me, I would love nothing more than to hunt DG with a fine old double. Adds a another "D" to "DG" hunting.
