BUT, it does cause problems because the Italians are "loose" in their craftmanship. I have heard of folks whose Uberti S&W clones had a bad trigger pull until the hammer block safety was removed. The rebounding hammer still works after the removal has been done.

I can say that my Uberti Laramie had the "safety" and fresh out of the box in the FFL's shop it would not allow the hammer to fall. We removed it right then and there and it has functioned perfectly since that time.
