    Because it is not an "extra step". It is a poor substitute. Half these guys don't even know if the action cocks on opening or closing FFS !

    Rusky, not having a go at you mate, it is just a crazy kiwi invention due to ex WW2 enfields with shitty safeties, and something that came out of the post war deer culler days. IMHO it has no place on a modern firearm with a functioning safety.
