A saftey catch will not make the gun safe..i don't trust them one bit..even with the saftey on my gun will alway's be pointed in the safe position..it's all metal and spring's which can break at any time without warning..i had a HW 77k some time ago..when i cocked it with the under lever i got nearly all the way to the end with the pellet just about to be placed in..and the nipple bit of metal on the loading arm snapped off and slammed the piston forward..if i was a mille second quicker at putting the pellet in i would of lost my finger and thumb..or had them smashed..IMO NEVER rely on any gun
