Automatic safety on gun

Post by coconut »

Fan of automatic safety or not? I had one on lc smith and didn’t like it. Was always having to remember to put it back on fire. I have never seen them on semi auto or pump. Is there a reason they are needed on some side by sides?

Never had one, but I like the idea. I'm pretty automatic with the safety anyhow. Taking it off is part of mounting the gun for me.

Not for me.

I've got some guns that have them and some that don't. I like it for hunting; I am used to flipping the safety off as I mount the gun so it doesn't slow me down any. For clay shooting, probably better to be manual

I have it on one SxS 12 gauge and I want to say the double 10 is automatic as well, but I honestly haven't shot it enough to even remember.

I'm indifferent on the subject. It is what it is, and if I like the gun enough I'll deal with the safety.

My Beretta O/Us have them. I'm fine with the automatic safety on the one I use for hunting. But I had it changed over to manual on the one I use for clays.

Some of my doubles have them; some don't. With a tang mounted safety, it becomes second nature to push it off and pick a trigger. It makes no difference to me whether it's auto or not. Gil
