when did heritage start putting safeties on their guns?

I don't like the safety on a single action revolver. That's what the hammer is for IMO. On a DA revolver, maybe so, but I agree they look bad.

I don't understand. The safety on an old style single action is in how you handle the revolver. Hammer down on an empty chamber.

\The double action revolver has a built in safety in it. The trigger has to be pulled all the way to the rear to allow the revolver to fire.

We're not referring to the built in, fundamental safety function inherent to single action revolvers, but the external hammer block safety that Heritage is putting on their revolvers now. It's a lever at 9 o'clock on the rear of the revolver, opposite of the loading gate. I hope this link works.
