Thumb cocking SA's

[flatgate]

My hands are not overly large,...

I am always humored by the pinky under shooters. I can get three fingers on the grip with room to spare, just in case I grow a 6th finger.......

I'm not about to let fly with a hot loaded .44 or .45 with a finger under the grip. I sense severe damage.....

I usually use a two handed hold and use the "off hand" (right) thumb to cock the hammer.

Interesting thread.

And I wouldn't want to be figuring out how to cock my gun properly in any sort of emergency against man or beast. That's one of those issues that needs to be sorted out way, way ahead of time.

I kind of think you missed this statement of mine. "You shouldn't be there with a gun you can't handle".
