Some handguns don’t have thumb safeties. For example, I carry a Glock, which doesn’t have one. I wouldn’t carry a pistol that had a manual safety. The problem here was holster retention, not a manual safety.

Possibly the ol’ Sonny Crocket underarm rig.
Wearing that I think I would stand and watch as opposed to dancing.
