Hi Guy, yes you can. In order to put the hammer on safety it is necessary to do the following: first of all point theweapon in the shooting direction, while maintaining a firm hold of the hammer with the thumb – pull the trigger until the hammer lets off, and ease the hammer down while still holding the hammer, ease the hammer down to the shooting position, then release the trigger and return the hammer back to the safety "half kock" position.
• In this position, if you pull the trigger the shotgun will not shoot.
• In order to bring the shotgun back to "ready to shoot" position pull the hammer back into full kock position
See pg 14 of owners manual here, this is Chiappa 1887, should be the same as Cimarron >>> https://www.taylorsfirearms.com/media/binaryanvil/media_library/CHIAPPA_1887_SHOTGUN_MANUAL.pdf

You can confirm with Cimarron at 1-877- SIXGUN1 (719-4861) or email orders@cimarron-firearms.com

Stay safe & have a great day!
