Break action Muzzleloaders are here to stay. The main reason why is they are just plain simple. And with a ML the odds of wearing out or loosing up are very slim.

As far as safety, the exposed hammer gun has had more accidental fires then any other design ever made. More so from unloading holding the trigger then releasing the hammer. Knight Rifles has this already figured out, and hopefully changes a few things on the vision and starts testing them this year.

Those looking for break opens really only have two good safe options right now. The first choice is a T/C Triumph. The second is a Knight Vision. The Triumph is great right out of the box, and the Vision needs a little tweaking for most.
