I am not agreeing or disagreeing with anyone.
Firearm companies go to manual safeties for insurance reasons. Liability lays in the shooters hand when a manual safety is on a device which lowers insurance costs and insurance is not cheap but does add to the price of the product. Very few firearms have auto safeties for a reason but no one carps. Any auto safeties drive me crazy whether on a car or firearm. My old carved tipped Exocet has an auto-safety but I don't mind it but then I don't mind the manual safety on some of my other bows.
