Safety is there for a reason HUBEN k1 DONT SHOOT YOURSELF LIKE MY FRIEND. (Pictures, there not to graphic)

Obviously, this is a key flaw in the design of the Huben. That said, while it cannot be made completely safe for carrying while hunting, I find that an acceptable compromise is to set the magazine such that the first three chambers are empty. More or less could be used but I suggest at least three such that it can be confirmed visually. Of course, once the quarry is encountered, the magazine has to be advanced by three rounds to shoot. That process can be sped up by carrying the gun with the mag lever in the “up” position. In that case, it really doesn’t take any longer to be ready to shoot than it does to cock a conventional PCP.

I don't mean to preach, as I've stated this on several threads over the years, so I apologize if it sounds as such. Air rifle safeties, in general, are not especially well designed. Also, many of them are compromised by the way we adjust our triggers. We can talk about safe gun handling forever, but we all know, as a practical matter, we can't keep a rifle pointed in a harmless direction 100% of the time, it can't be done. It's far better to decock or unload before moving, and some rifles, as the Taipan Veteran are designed to easily accommodate that strategy.

Has anyone retro fitted a trigger safety onto a Huben K1
