As to the condition Mule Deer mentions, I tried it on 2 Kimbers and 4 pre-64 Fwts..
All six allowed the safety to be pushed fully forward.
All six kept the trigger locked.
All six released the trigger when pushed forward and the bolt still slightly up.
However, the bolt was first "pushed down" (without me touching it) when I pulled the trigger and then the spring released the firing pin.
My standard is to keep the safety ON until its time to fire. My exception would be for an anticipated encounter at close quarters from an animal likely to attack then retreat. Wounded or not.
