The only issue I have had is with the magazine release. It often gets bumped when in the holster
That can be a fatal "issue" in a self-defense scenario if not addressed. Perhaps a stronger release spring or a different type holster is in order.

The only issue I have had is with the magazine release. It often gets bumped when in the holster (I use a "Sticky" holster), but have been considering looking for a leather IWB for it.
Seriously consider what would be gained by adding that extra step and weigh it against what might be lost.
I have "seriously" considered the pluses and minuses for having a safety (or not) on a semi-auto pistol intended for self-defense and long ago decided that the "extra step" is a worthwhile compromise-for me. Training makes the extra step "problem" a non-issue; keeping in mind that, as I noted earlier in this thread, you don't have to employ the safety on a typical da pistol (the Beretta Model 92 as an example) if you don't want to.
A thumb flick is a much smaller extra step but still, people have sometimes been hurt or killed while forgetting or fiddling with a safety switch
If you have a little salad dressing, butter, oil, etc. on your thumb, can it still flick the safety every time? What if you are injured before you get to your gun and you have blood on your hand?
Speaking of injury, what if you hurt your thumb?
Sure, you could have a safety and not use it. Is there any possibility at all that it gets accidentally activated in some of the above circumstances?
These all might seem like big "what ifs" but they do happen.
What if you forget to pull the trigger "in the heat of the moment?"...
