I had one old Cooey that the hammer wouldn't stay back on, so you pointed and let go the hammer in one fowl swoop. Another buddy had one that would open when the gun fired. He had a tin can slid over the break so it wouldn't open and kick the empty in his face.
Those are not firearms issues, those are shooter issues. I wouldn't hunt with anyone that would use any of those firearms, knowing that those issues exist.
