Safety Resetting on Break Action

[SLO_Ryan]

I shot a Beretta 686 Onyx over-under not long ago, and the safety reset every time the gun was shut, so that you had to manually take the safety off every time after shutting it. I thought it was annoying.

Do all Beretta over-unders do this? What about Rizinni, or Perazzi, or Browning, do they do this too?

my winchester does this its fairly common to have an auto safety on a double

I thought that was normal, only have a sxs so cant say much.

It's a field gun, it's a safety feature.

My White Onyx Sporting does not have an automatic safety. I think you might be able to have a smith disable it.

Thanks for the info; I have also shot a Ceaser Guerini which did not have it. Think I would rather have it be manual.

Most field/ hunting guns do it for the safety reason. It automatically engages when the action was open. There is a rod attached to the safety. Any competent gunsmith can take it off. I have take off the auto safety on many shotguns in the past. Most competition shotguns do not have this auto safety feature.

My Lanber had that and I took out the rod myself. Took about ten minutes.

So, you can still manually engage and disengage the safety afterwards, right?

My SxS has it, never bothered me much. At a point it becomes muscle memory. Much like CCW a 1911 always flip the safety as you are raising the gun.

Correct, all taking the rod out does is prevent the safety from automatically being activated when you break the action open.
