Default Can 1919 Trojan 16Ga., be upgraded for having the safety be reset...

for opening the action?

Comparing the 1919 [Trojan] to the 1906 VH [12ga.,] the safety is reset when the VH is opened for reloading.

Took the [Trojan] to trap shoot, and realizes that the safety, did not automatically reset.

Thanks.

The gun SHOULD have an automatic safety. That would be standard on Parkers unless otherwise requested. And since most Trojans were sold from stock or hardware stores with general specs, I would not think it would have been made without it. But it could have been.

Either way, it can certainly be changed back to an automatic safety. It is just a matter of putting the reset rod back in or drilling out for the rod if need be.

Probably somebody disabled the auto safety. Lots of folks do that I guess.

I'd just leave it be and use the safety between your ears.

My Beretta AL 391 came without an automatic safety. 100,000 rounds later, still not a single accidental discharge.

Funny how that works isn't it?

For clay target sports, the non-automatic safety (or no safety at all) is a definite advantage.
