Carry w/safety OFF--put it on when holstering then flick it off.

All firearms I own have external safeties, even my bbs do. I do not forget to disengage the safety in a firearm before shooting any more than I forget to push on the clutch when changing gears on a manual shift transmission, even in an emergency.I ask because my S&W m&p 2.0 is the no safety variant, but as it applies to self defense, I wouldn't want to forget to disengage the safety when fear and adrenaline are pumping and seconds count. I think this boils down to proper training and muscle memory if i'm not mistaken.
My biggest concern though is the firearm discharging when conceal carrying. I'm not sure how often this happens but the last thing i'd want is the gun going off by accident.
So how many of you prefer a safety over no safety on your pistol?
To me, it is not a good idea to fiddle with the controls of a firearm once it is in the holster. The holster is not intended for that.Carry w/safety OFF--put it on when holstering then flick it off.
There is an excellent aftermarket thumb safety for Glocks, the Cominolli, that has been in the market for 20+ years and functions the same as the safety on a 1911. This safety is also offered by Ten Ring Precision and other outlets, and does not void the Glock factory warranty. With the safety engaged, a trigger snagging on a loose piece of clothing (or anything else) is blocked from moving which will not allow the pistol to discharge.I’m merely explaining that people that expect a Glock to stop the trigger from going to the rear from a snag will likely be disappointed.

Look into Cominolli or Ten Ring Precision thumb safety for Glock. Around $90 + installation (which some people do themselves)my "nightstand gun" is a G19, so no safety, but I'd love to have one. Keep it in condition 3 instead.

You don’t keep it with a round chambered? Why?

For me as flawlessly as the rest of the pistol, for the last 15 years I've had it on.<<Look into Cominolli or Ten Ring Precision thumb safety for Glock>>
and these work flawlessly?
It's puzzling why Glock would develop a safety for a pistol that it enters into a military competition but then not offer it as an option (for an extra charge) in their civilian offerings. I can't see how it would not improve their bottom line. If they were willing to tool up and offer the pistol at a profitable price for the Army, why wouldn't that be profitable in the civilian market?
I don’t personally get why you would purchase a Glock, add this to it, rather than get one of those other pistols that can be had with a manual safety.
Yes, you are right, that could be it.The MHS contract is massive. I seriously doubt civilian sales without that contract are enough for Glock to warrant full scale production of a safety equipped version.
This would actually be very very interesting to know, a true control experiment.I’m willing to bet that outside of states that need it for compliance that the civilian sales of P320s without safeties dwarf those with safeties.

because w/o an external safety, I'm not comfortable having a round chambered. Actually, I would only keep a DAO that way...
