Brent makes a good point here (that I hadn't fully considered), with time and wear all of man's devices go out of adjustment. An intercepting safety sear would be a big plus at this stage of gun ownership.
I have two very old LC Smith guns (1890 & 91) that I've had professionally inspected, cleaned and gone through. I don't shoot them often (mainly because of their substantial weight and then overall fit for me) but when I do (& I make a few sighting adjustments in my use of them) they work just fine for me. I do treat them extra carefully, however, because I starkly remember the day (over 50-years ago now) when an Elsie Field grade gun almost "bit" me, and very badly.
When I shoot my Arrieta on game and on targets (this one fits me perfectly as it is a "made-as left" gun) I do have a higher level of confidence as to how it will perform, and while that's admittedly for several reasons, the fact that it has "interceptors" is in the back of my mind...
