Fred thanks for your reply. The gun in question does have an automatic safety. I agree the safest way to carry a loaded gun is with the action open and these devices would serve to hold the shells in that condition. When actually hunting and not just strolling, I for one do not carry my gun action open in the field and know of no double shooters that do. Even in Germany where I hunted for several years and where I consider the hunters to be more safety conscious than in the US, I did not see hunters employ this method. That is not to say it is not a good idea.
