I don’t trust safeties.

Interesting. But a non issue. Even if the Safety lock is off, the grip safety is on, unless in the ha d, and if dropped, the original half cock notch on the sear/hammer is available and on later versions, the FP safety is on unless trigger is pulled. BTW, the SIG P220 has several safeties too.

But I hear you, one must be proficient with the operation of the firearm in hand.

I find myself either with a passive safety only handgun ( Glocks) or a positive/active safety handgun(1911).

I have not encountered a time in routine daily carry or match conditions where I confused what was in my hands vice what was on my mind.

While I never had real world experience in combat with either of those patterns, just the awful M9 of recent military issue.
