Generally speaking Rick, any of the Twist, Laminated, Damascus (of various grades), Bernard, etc. are equally safe to shoot, all things being equal like wall thickness, the lack of dents, bulges, cracks, occlusions, etc. along with appropriate loads and commom sense. I and many, many others here shoot our Laminated, Twist, Damascus, Bernard barreled Parkers all the time with appropriate low-pressure loads, either store-bought or hand-loaded.
