Honestly, I only use the secondary if I am using a tree stand which is almost never and when I haul it in my Rhino here on the farm and that's without the primer in the rifle. I do like the safety and keep it on especially when I am in camp or at the house but then again with no primer. I live alone and no kids around but I do like knowing that secondary safety is on when I come in from hunting. Under normal hunting conditions I don't use it.
