[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 866724, member: 11717"] My view on safeties is probably gonna be a little controversial. When I went through Hunter's Saftey many years ago, I was taught to NEVER trust a saftey because it was a mechanical device and it can and will fail. This has already been mentioned. I think we might be better off without the mechanical safety that can and does fail. If there was no safety, we would not depend on it. Since there is a safety, we do in fact overly depend on it. I say this because I have seen a lot of folks point their muzzle recklessly in any direction without thought of who or what it is pointing at. Where is the safety on a revolver or a single shot shotgun? The ultimate safety is how you HANDLE your weapon. If your muzzle is NEVER POINTED at anyone it will NEVER HARM anyone. That said, the best trigger/safety on a Remington is something other than a Remington trigger/safety. [/QUOTE]
