Again, it isn't a lack of safety with damascus. It is probably more a lack of familiarity and knowledge of the barrels. I have been shooting and taking care of steel barrels for 25+ years, since I got my first BB gun when I was 6 more or less. It is easy for me to spot flaws with a steel barrel. I don't have the same familiarity with damascus.

I am perfectly comfortable shooting a damascus shotgun, my issue is still in determining what is a good barrel vs. one I should walk away from.
