Default Re: Sear safety

To prevent firing when the cannon was removed from the frame. As you know, a cartridge left in the chamber can be fired by pressing the front of the sear bar with the top assembly removed from the frame. Apparantly someone didn't think that Policemen were as smart or careful as soldiers; and needed this extra protection from themselves!
