And yet you same guys have ZERO qualms stomping around the woods with a rifle and round in chamber, safety on.

I don't think you've ever heard my thoughts on that issue.
It's an entirely different issue than a rifle. With a single action pistol, you're just handicapping yourself one round-generally five instead of six. This just decreases firepower and does nothing to decrease the time for the initial shot. With a rifle such as you're describing, the difference is significant, since you're having to chamber a round and take the safety off or at least chamber a round before pulling the trigger. You're just pulling the trigger on the single action.
Ruger's safety system is old, well-known and proven. Original Colt SAA's also had/have a safety system. It is proven too, to not be reliable. What I'm saying about the Heritage system is: I don't know enough about it that I would trust it. I have to be very well versed in a single action's safety system to trust it.
