Yes, I see the advantage with it on bird guns but still doesn't change that they are uncommon enough that I have never encountered one. Did American makers use them too?

If using a half cock is dangerous due to fragility, a gun at full cock, relying on a grip safety like the one shown above is many times more so.

I'll have to look around for these.
