The old Hawes 22 Peacemaker copy...

had a safety just like the one on Heritage. I know this because when I was 15, a friend had one. He thought it too 'un-Colt' and removed it. He also scoffed at me for carrying my OM Single Six with the hammer down on an empty chamber.
He finally managed to shoot himself down the thigh one day, right in my living room. The bullet stopped halfway down the muscle and they elected to leave it in. I still remember watching him squirm when the Doc ran that long, Betadine-soaked Q-Tip down the hole in his leg.
So yes, extra layers of safety are a good thing. Particularly when you're dealing with kids/novices.
