There are plenty of inexpensive German or other Central-European BLEs with intercepting sear mechanisms showing up many for less than American classics of equal grade and vintage. While there maybe some apprehension in buying unknown Belgian or Spanish gun there is less risk when looking at something made in Germany. Buhag or Hubertus anyone? Let us agree there is no reason to buy gun w/o extra safety features when it can be had for same or less money than piece w/o this feature.
