    I'm not comfortable with people who rely on safety catches.

    I love the AA safety through the trigger,
    I struggle to see why anyone could possibly have a problem because it works by applying pressure perpendicular to the direction of trigger pull so your finger is never even near the firing position.

    you would need to be improbably ham fisted, &/or have the trigger set stupidly light to have a ND.

    Far more dangerous is the likes of a rapid where the safety is directly in front of the trigger blade so you need to insert your finger in to the same position as to fire the rifle in order to apply it, indeed with my mk2 sporter trigger it's even applied by pulling it back in the same direction as the trigger operation.
