My first Over/Under, mechanical question. Please help!

[OHdeerhuntingmarine]

I just got a Stoeger Condor O/U 12 gauge. It's my first over under and I am getting used to how it works. I have shot them before many times, but it has been awhile. I was wondering...

Why can't I shoot both shells without working the safety from S to F in between shots?

Also, I bought it used for cheap, it's in great condition, but now I am wondering if the safety coming on in between shots is a problem that's in need of a fix

Thanks a lot for the help.

The safety should reset after opening the shotgun, not between shooting the first and second barrels. Condors are notorious for broken safety springs, contact Stoeger.

darn. oh well, for the price I paid I guess it'll be ok. I go talk to the gunsmith, thanks for the input.
