Bugler Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I thought I knew the answer to this question, but now am not so sure as the Handbooks/RO1-2 don't quite address this...... Shooter is done with SxS shotgun, action is open and clear, no casings in chamber.... but hammers are cocked..... What say you....this happened at a local match a few months ago and was treated ( correctly I think) as a no call. Bugler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Every sxs that has no external hammers is cocked when it's opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Of course there's no call. Hammers are cocked as soon as you open an internal hammer gun. External hammer gun, no problem either - most folks cock the hammers before leaving the loading table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 As far as it goes, an '87 or a '97 is cocked when the action is fully opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Spade Mikey Wilson Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 My rifle hammer is cocked also when the chamber is empty with the bolt back..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I am one of those guys that cocks the hammers of my shotgun as I am shucking shells, so my hammers are always cocked when I set the gun down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
