re: Smith & Wesson m&p Shield or Springfield XDS

I don't suppose the safety on the M&P would be very good for carrying because it isn't the easiest or fasted thing to manipulate. I find it to be a little bit too high on the frame and I don't like the angle it's at, where as a 1911 safety is incredibly fast and easy for me even though I hardly never shoot them. I'm far from what I consider to be familiar with a 1911 and the safety is still easy as shite for me.

I would prefer it to the grip safety on the XD though. I don't like grip safeties.
