Naw... during cocking, you're hardly likely to have your fingers in the loading slot.

Once cocked, the main sear is taking the pressure, so holding on to the cocking lever is just a fail-safe... which, yes, would be better if it was also fail-safe...

It's a bit more dangerous. Like getting into your car is a bit more dangerous than staying at home - incase the wind catches the car door and smashes your brains in.

I bet this thread is like Christmas isn't it Barry?
