Auto safety

[Dr Bob]

Another reason to buy a Lefever. The auto safety can be turned on or off with the turn of a screw under the opening lever (except in "pigeon guns" with no safety).

You took the words out of my mouth Bob.

That's why all my Lefevers have the auto-safety locked off. For those that rely on auto-safeties to keep your gun "safe" while hunting, they are a mechanical device. All mechanical devices can fail. I prefer to have that tactile knowledge that if I'm in the field, I engaged the safety. I have a couple of Parkers that I didn't take apart to disassemble the safety rod. Whenever I shoot clays with them they do mess me up on the first few stations. I will be like Breck and those push rods will be tossed into a drawer eventually.

I'd hope there were better reasons than that, for buying one. It's just a personal opinion but I have no desire to be able to turn a disabled auto safety back on.
