I sometimes do it when in complete readiness, but I have never liked it. I feel safest when there isn't one in the chamber. Half cock and using the safety makes me uneasy.

Even back in your meat hunting days, Tahr? My recollections of the late 70's/ early 1980's was that practically everyone operated with one up the spout, and on half-cock?
