    A safety catch is a mechanical device. Mechanical devices can/will fail. Calling it a "safety" catch is a misnomer and provides a false sense of security. I don't understand this insistence on having the firearm on ready, as if a nano second is the difference between getting a shot away successfully, or not?

    With me it’s not so much the ‘nano second’, it’s more the noise.

    And in the bush the shooting ranges are well within hearing distance of the deer.
