Smitcha 6551,

Don't overlook a rifle with intercepting sears and a bolted saftey. (intercepting sears = a set of secondary sears which prevent a hammer from falling unless the appropriate trigger has been pulled; bolted safety = (for hammerless DG rifles) a swinging lever which blocks the safety from moving to fire unless it is disengaged.)

Disengaging both a bolted safety and the standard slide safety is slower than the rifle with the bolt already disengages and swung out of the way, but the option of how you carry the rifle at any given moment is entirely up to the shooter. With the bolt engaged, the system will be slower than the Kreighoff for sure, but then again, jow the rifle is carried at the moment is up to the shooter.

I carry my rifle with the bolt engaged when fast action seems unlikely, but as most know, action can occur at any moment. I had an opportunity to test how fast my use of the bolt was when while on ele tracks in Chewore South a cow came boiling out of the bush at us. The bolt was swung before the thought crossed my mind and the rifle was ready when needed. The charge was mock, but if it had gone the other way, I was ready.

Here are photos of my rifle with the bolted safety:
