These are nifty little guns.

That said, there is one issue with them in practice: if you are actually hunting with one, they are slow to get into action because of the need to cock the hammer

This leads to the bird being long gone by the time you get the gun cocked and to your shoulder.

Safely lowering the hammer is tricky: I've seen two folks lose control of the hammer resulting in an ad.

If you are going to use your 24 in the field, practice cocking the thing and then lowering the hammer so it doesn't get away from you.
