A few guys here go into a blue fury at the mention of an auto safety. I guess I don't understand all the fuss. I've noticed that if you ask the question of a SxS or O/U guy while hunting or shooting at the range, "does that gun have an automatic safety"? that, if they can't answer the question, they will be the guys forgetting to take it off, and muffing shots. Ignorance is correctable, only stupidity is forever.
Have had both designs. I always know where the safety is, even if the gun moved it on after I opened it. Have handed guys open guns to examine, and cringed as they stuck finger on trigger and closed the gun, as they brought it to their shoulder. I don't hunt or shoot with them if they do it again after I point it out.
Best,
Ted
