I just don't understand why folks don't like the Sauer safety approach. It makes sense to me. A simple thumb push to make safe. To get ready to fire you have to put your finger inside the trigger guard. That means you want to fire. A simple, and silent, upward push and then pull (ok, squeeze) the trigger. Job done. Oh and they are gorgeous guns (slight bias as I have a couple of 202s). Very smooth and the recoil seems less than other makes - an opinion voiced by others who have tried my guns- something to do with the design/layout?
