Talon has mentioned the auto safety being a pain...i absolutely agree....when you open the gun the empty cartridges are ejected(saves you a job,speeds things up nicely)you drop two fresh cartridges in and close the gun,this is where auto safety becomes a pain , closing the gun cocks the mechanism/firing pins but also puts the safety catch on, with a manual safety in a firefight you'd leave it permanently off to speed things up until you have finished shooting then you put the safety on yourself. when out hunting i tend to carry the gun open making it safe instead of using the safety, another thing with auto safety when clay pigeon shooting and this happens a lot...you shout pull bring the gun up and...nothing!!!! safety is on grrrrrr! imagine in a life and death situation doing that!
Nothing is fool proof for a sufficiently talented fool!!!!
