The Ruger is the only one of the three with a real safety. The other two only use a half-cock position for the hammer and the rifle can discharge if the hammer accidentally slips while moving it to the half cock position.
This is not true. The Browning/Winchester uses a fly in the trigger assembly. The rifle cannot discharge if the hammer slips while moving it to the half cock position. The design is as safe or safer than the Ruger #1.
Take care, Tom
