I'm looking at coach guns for CAS and have narrowed the choices down to Spartan (Remington), Stoeger and CZ. I've been wondering about the advantages/disadvantages of internal hammer box lock actions compared to external hammer actions. Most "break" style shotguns that I've seen/handled (not too many to be honest) with internal hammers have an automatic safety that engages once you close the action. I've only handled a couple of external hammer shotguns and that's going back a few years and I don't recall any safety on those. So how does this all tie into speed? Which is faster to shoot/reload/shoot etc? An external hammer shotgun with no safety or an internal hammer box lock with a safety.
Thanks.
Thanks.
