As a gunmaker says, there is a difference between being a client and being the guy out in front. Further, in a hunting situation, you usually have some warning if trouble, say a wounded animal, is brewing. If just walking in the bush, trouble can be on you instantly. After 40 years of using a normal tang safety, it would take me a great deal of practice to have confidence in instinctively cocking the Krieghoff against resistance when a crabby buffalo boils out of the bush 15 yards away, not a situation I want to complicate further. Especially when carrying the rifle by the muzzle over a shoulder (they get heavy). My opinion only, of course, and the Krieghoff is indeed a very nice hunting rifle.
