huds78 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Apparently its a very easy job I was told when I got my silver pig and was considering getting it removed but in the end I just got used to it. Have a word with Chris from here http://thanetshootingsupplies.co.uk/services.html He`ll be able to sort you out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) What guns it on but in short yes they are easy to remove. And in most case fitting is easy if you have the tools and knowledge. Edited December 17, 2013 by welshwarrior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun4860 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Sounds Damn dangerous to me: Why? I would think most sporting shotguns don't have an automatic safety. My Browning doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesketh Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Sounds Damn dangerous to me: My Beretta does not have an auto safety, and you need to remember that it only disengages the triggers on the gun. An auto safety gun can be quite frustrating if you forget about it as the clays sail past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominicrobed Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 My sporting beretta 686e didn't have auto safety when I had it and neither dose my Maxus. You should never load a gun outside the cage at each stand so an auto safety is not needed. Didn't think this was a hard question should of known better really. Silly place to ask wasn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly place to ask wasn't it I thought it an interesting question. I now have an answer. I only rough shoot with no experience of clays and always regard a safety as a integral part of my discipline. We all learn something every day. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 The subject of auto safety (shotguns) comes up a bit, if you want it, fine, if you don't, fine, what is the issue? You will find very few rifles have auto safety, does this promote heated debate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominicrobed Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Cheers guys. I will try and get it taken of tomorrow Thanks again !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southern Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I had mine taken off my Silver Pigeon - it took the gunsmith less than 5 minutes. Same as you, I shoot clays with mine and the autosafe did my nut in. I am a safe shooter, never load outside the cage, break the gun at all times until I'm ready to shoot.

HDAV Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Safeties are a bad idea in terms of safety as it can encourage unsafe gun movements "oh it's fine the safeties on" etc if guns didn't have safeties would they be less safe? Or more safe? A loaded gun is potentially dangerous an unloaded one isn't .... Clay shooters should never have a loaded gun unless ready to shoot (trap being a slight exception where guns are often loaded but left open) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay shooters should never have a loaded gun unless ready to shoot (trap being a slight exception where guns are often loaded but left open) And seatbelts encourage unsafe driving?!!! Another level of fail safe can't be a bad thing if you're shooting. Not really important if you only shoot clays, but if you do a bit of everything they're worth having and just get used to pushing the safety off as part of your gun mount.

bostonmick Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 as far as I know all miroku come now with non auto safety the part comes with the gun if you want it fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul T Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 It's a quick job, but make sure it's done properly - I have it on good authority that one gunsmith (not one I'd ever use!) botches this job every time, so ask EXACTLY how they will do it an if it can be put back. Cheers and will doBecause it will be my clay gun and I don't want to switch it off 50 time every time I shoot !! Anyway, if you can't be bothered to click off the safety I assume you have a semi auto-as you can't be bothered to open the gun to take the cartridges out either??

Will Poon Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 If you have an auto safety on a shotgun, keep shooting it as normal by disengaging the safety and it'll become second nature to using that gun, abit like breaking the the gun whilst walking around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 And seatbelts encourage unsafe driving?!!! Another level of fail safe can't be a bad thing if you're shooting. Not really important if you only shoot clays, but if you do a bit of everything they're worth having and just get used to pushing the safety off as part of your gun mount. Hardly, "but if you do a bit of everything they're having" why exactly much safer to unload the gun than to put the safety on. The safety doesn't stop the pin striking the primer, it locks the trigger from the sears, safeties can fail and guns can go off when the trigger isnt pulled (worn or badly cut sears are the most common cause) http://www.countryside-alliance.org.uk/ca/file/GUN_SAFETY.pdf Remember that the safety catch on many shotguns only locks the triggers and does not necessarily prevent the gun from firing. Only you can do that by unloading it. Treat every firearm as if it is loaded and never point the muzzles at something you don't want to kill........
