I can see that, but I never have been in a situation with the secondary safety on where that happened. The only time I use it is when climbing in out of stands, when riding on atv, or in my truck from one part of the farm to another, etc. When I am walking to or from a stand, or still hunting, or while in stand its always off.

I guess for some folks who forget they had it on, it could make for a bad day...especially if the whopper walked up.

I have not either. Its off when walking to and from my stand. Its on while in the stand because i usually have plenty of time to take a shot.

best safety is to keep the rifle unprimed while climbing up or over anything. Especially should not be primed on an atv!

In a tree stand its used as an extra measure of safety in case the gun were to fall. When the secondary is engaged, its nearly impossible for the firing pin to hit the primer.

Both Tony Knight and Doc White put secondary safeties on their rifles for safety insurance while doing activities that have been mention.
they are useful when used properly. And normally once accustomed to the operation of the Secondary Safety few ever have any problems with them.

Anytime I am in a stand my MZ goes up unloaded. Which means uncapped. I can use a capper about as fast as I can that stupid saftey.

No other forward throw saftey firearm that I know of has that Rinky dink saftey,and nine of them need it.

Would anyone be willing to guess at the number of clicks that have gone off in the woods because of that horrible design? It's gotta be in the thousands if not tens of thousands,

I do not know - other than I have been using Knights and Whites for 15+ years and have never had that problem - I would say it is just a matter of knowing your equipment.

I love the second safety, no issues with me. I'm ok with guns that don't have it as well

I'm sure there have been plenty, but its not because of the design ....its from user error.
As others have said, you don't have to use it, but its there if you want to. I personally think its a great feature and use it all the time. I've been shooting Knights for 22yrs, and never had an issue.
