A SXS question

I posted this a while ago, buried in another thread, but since I am getting in a mood to buy a SXS, I am re-posting it by itself.


I have one question about the SXS exposed-hammer coach guns.

I am wanting one, but all the affordable (less than $250) ones have the tang safety in addition to the SA hammers. This seems to be overkill and I do not like this and am wondering who makes one without the safety, just the SA hammers.

Also, does anybody make a "regular" SXS (internal hammers) where the safety does NOT re-engage when you close the action? A buddy has a nice SXS, but the safety automatically engages EVERY time you close the action and you have to push it off again. This seems like it could get someone killed in a SD situation.

Lastly, Do any of the affordable guns have ejectors? I don't CAS, so I prefer ejectors for speed.

On your last query, any good smith can work over an automatic safety into a manual one for a pittance.
