I'm with bladesmith on this one: I like trap, skeet, and sporting clays,and don't want to have to "check" on a safety to see if it's on or not. That being said, I realize it's a no-brainer to push the safety to fire each time, and I humbly allow those fellows who insist on an auto safety to have their gun "their way," and I'll have my gun mine, thanks.
The feature that makes it "Auto," is as the fellows have described, a "rod" that pushes the safety on when you push the opening top lever to the right. I have a competent gunsmith take it out. (It's out of my VH 12 gauge now)
It's still in my 28 gauge repro, because I don't want to mess with any screws........yet.
