re: Semi Auto pistol: Safety or No Safety

Actually it does. On some firearms they are necessary because it disengages the firing pin in instances where the firearm is dropped then it will not go off. Firearms without safeties have internal parts in place for that same reason. As I said before I have no problem with them, however their existence will not stop be from buying a firearm.

You act as if these are the same. They are not. They may prevent the same eventuality, but that's not on purpose. A safety prevents the gun from firing when the trigger is pulled. The internal mechanisms prevent a different type of discharge.
