I'll admit that it annoyed me always seeing his 1911 holstered with the hammer forward. I do think the show has been fairly consistent with him cocking the hammer when he pulls his gun out. I do know a lot of guys, especially old timers. like to chamber a round and then ride the hammer forward to carry the gun that way. In many cases it's not a lack of education because when I have brought this up they always say, "I know, but I prefer it this way." Not sure why. I'm not saying the show is depicting the sheriff as a guy that realizes he's doing this and Hollywood loves the sound of a hammer cocking so it could all be accidental.
