I resisted striker fired as the first few that I shot were not very reliable guns. In my quest for a carry gun I tried a springfield XDE with the hammer and DA/SA, but could not shoot it well. I have a Sig P238 and have become accustom to carrying it cocked and locked, when it is in a thumb release holster. Then I shot a friend's glock. Then I rented a sig 365. Now I carry a sig 356 with safety. Great gun with ten + 1 capacity and great trigger for a striker fired gun.
Life is good.

That was me at one point but after doing research and a little educating myself, I found it better for me to just train and learn how to take advantage of the Da trigger when the hammer isn’t cocked. I’ll admit, I used to feel that way too, the same as you and that’s kinda how I ended up with a striker-fired EDC gun with a safety.
It’s not that I have anything against SF guns, I just don’t like that I feel they need a safety to minimize the chance for a negligent discharge. I don’t trust trigger safeties, but I get the part about trusting whether or not one will remember to take the safety off in a lightning quick tense situation. My hammer guns give me that capability without having to worry about taking a safety off first, without making them in a sense, unsafer from the lack of a safety. Their safety in my opinion is the longer heavier pull of the trigger and the ability to ride the hammer into the holster without having to add an aftermarket part to do it.
This is all just me, nobody has to agree with what I do. I understand any gun can have ND’s. I understand that training, trigger finger discipline and common sense play an important role but we’re all fallible humans. We’re not free from mistakes. No amount of training or practice will change that.
