Good description OT of what bothers me about that action. Any mechanical action with safety can fail and to have an element of human error play in makes it even more of a potential for failure. Although not the same action I did almost have an accident with a hammer gun. Many years ago when I got my first smoke pole it was a TC 54 New Englander carbine. It had a side lock with the safe indent for the hammer. I was still hunting down a hog back and when I got to the end there was a series of low 6' spruce growing over the deer run I was on. I put the gun on my shoulder with the sling to move the branches aside to get through. I should have uncapped but didn't see any danger so I continued. What I couldn't see through the spruce was a large rock and when I stepped off it the ground wasn't there and down I went. The hammer was cocked by the stiff spruce as I went down through it and the trigger must have been pressed from those same limbs. It went off next to my head giving me quite a start. I sat there reconstructing my accident and came to the realization that it was certainly human error followed up by a mechanical accident caused by the thick spruce branches. Safety should have pushed me to uncap but I didn't bother thinking I had the situation in control. That is how accidents happen and I never forgot it. An accident = an unplanned event made worse by human error. I am not a hammer fan since that time.
