Not all of the no safety guns were intended as target guns. A lot of the old timers felt that a safety gave shooters a false sense of security and made them careless. Many of them also were used to hammer guns that did not have a safety. That is why people like Nash Buckingham hunted with no safety guns. It made you be more careful. I don't know that I agree with that,but he wrote about it in several magazine articles and in his books.
