You're right! I'll pay that - I was pulling from memory but I thought it said 'in your other hand' as part of that. Guess not ^.^

I'd certainly allow it at my table! Or more accurately, forget entirely about the Ammunition property...

I think, in practical reality, that this is the situation at most game tables.

As a parallel situation, recall that by the rules, you only need two hands on a two-handed weapon when you actually attack with it - so at all other times, you are considered to have a hand free to do things that require it (this is official and confirmed); I think that most people would not consider it a stretch of acceptable rulings to re-cock a hand crossbow with two or three fingers of the other hand that's still holding your second hand crossbow. I feel that in practice, that's how it's usually played by most groups.
