bearcat2 trapper B Joined: Oct 2011 Idaho	Originally Posted by k snow I'll admit sometimes I like the loose safeties, you can compress the spring and let them swing over by themselves. X2. The safeties are the thing I don't like about Belisles. I set by hand and I want to squeeze the springs between my hands and let the safety swing on. With Belisle style safeties I would need to use setters.
