You may also hear that the 1893 was so dangerous that Winchester issued a recall.
Not a great user experience and one that would be rectified on the later Model 1897 with a simple push button. If you want to unload the gun without discharging a live round, you have to carefully push the firing in with your thumb. Which seems normal enough until you realize the only way to unlock it is to depress the firing pin. The 1893 also locks shut when the bolt was drawn forward. This resulted in hang fires being fairly common and so an inertia safety (recoil lock) became critical for commercial shotguns to prevent out of battery detonations. Instead, period smokeless ammunition was vulnerable to moisture and slow or poor ignition in shotgun shells. While it is true that black powder shotgun ammunition was far more common at its release, strength of the lock was not the one and only fault of the ’93. Many people report that the 1893 was a weak action, too feeble to handle smokeless powder. Interestingly that case wouldn’t be settled, in the 1893’s favor, until about the time it left production in 1897. More compact and simpler to use than the Spencer, this second “pump action” to the market had to clear a lawsuit from Francis Bannerman. Having already purchased the Browning lever action design, Winchester would also be the first to take up his slide action. Ours today features both himself and his brother Matthew on the patent.
