One does not shoot hammer guns to gain some sort of imagined advantage--there are few, if any. The guns are chosen by those who are drawn to the dawn of cartridge guns and all the traditions,heritage, and workmanship they represent. They're taken into the field with full appreication of their limitations. Then at the end of the day the hunter has a special pride in whatever game has been taken, knowing it was accomplished with handicaps others didn't enjoy. Back to your original question: I have no idea why anyone would want a safety on their hammer gun--if they have to go modern why not just buy a modern gun. And leave all those relics to we few throwbacks to an earlier, slower time. (See my tag line below)
