It doesn't matter to me if there's one or two triggers, manual or autosafety, pump or auto. I can even use the Browning H safety without screwing up. Go figure. OTOH, I have watched grown men forget to take the safety off repeatedly during a single round of clays. Drives me nuts. These same guys will continue to struggle with the same gun day after day, year after year. I don't get it. Maybe my IQ is too low to have a problem with these things.
Similarly, I do not care whether a field gun has an autosafety. It will be on when it should. If I miss a bird b/c I forgot to take the piece off safe I deserve to be slapped. I will not hunt with anyone who tells me that there's not enough time to take a safety off after a flush. And I tell them to read "The Modern Technique of the Pistol".
Bottom line: I believe that if technique is sound an autosafety is a non-issue.
Here's my own pet peeve: finger on the trigger when calling for a target..........teaching yourself a bad habit I say. No need for this even on station 8.
