doe girl. I was referring to my inline about having the switch for safety. What i was saying is, i do not like the omgeas or any other ML that has a hammer. The point of having an inline WAS to eliminate the hammer and making the trigger like a centerfire rifle. Hammers should be a thing of the past, You dont see millitary rifles using an external hammer anymore. But thats beyond the point. And the external hammer isnt very safe, A wet glove or finger while lowering the hammer can be a mess if your thumb were to slip and drop the hammer. I remember when some cva's and white rifles had the double safety which was a great idea. I THINK it was the white that had the screw safety where it pulled the firing pin back and away so if u were to drop it, no firing pin would hit. What traditions were you looking at by the way?
O.K. Frontier, now I see where you're coming from regarding hammers vs safeties. Thumbs slipping off the hammer being cocked back could result in an accidental discharge, for sure. The sidelock I'm looking at is the Traditions Deerhunter.
