Never have. And if by accidentally you mean the trigger was pulled inadvertently, intercepting sears wouldnt have made much difference anyway. FWIW.. theyre unnecessary, thousands upon thousands of BL shotguns & rifles built with out them testify to that. Heres another interesting fact...a good many SLE guns have intercepting sears that dont work properly (arent timed correctly, or just fitted up badly). The owners rarely if ever notice that they have faulty interceptors. Not naming any specific makers, seen bad examples from various makers, countries.
