Ted, there's always a solution. With a hammergun, you can carry it broken open, hammers back--because, except on small bore hammerguns, very few people have paws large enough to cock both of them with one motion when the bird flushes. But you'd better not be walking through cover where crud might fall into the action, or the open with hammers back solution may well fail you.
I like the little, less obvious tang safeties. Probably because I've used them for 40+ years. Woops . . . make that 50+ years. My first double was an OU, old Savage 420 20 gauge. Tend to forget that one because it was a real club and wasn't a sxs. But it also had the same tang safety.
