Aren't you gonna carry it in a holster ?

Every holster "must" (absolutely should) cover the trigger guard. That is a very effective safety. IMO there's no need for adding a mechanical safety that might slow/impede you if you suddenly need the weapon.

Jillions of Kahrs, M&P's/Shields and Glocks are sold every year w/o an external mechanical safety lever.

And you can plexico burass yourself pretty easily on reholster without a safety.

My carry gun is DA/SA so it doesnt have a safety but I wouldnt carry a striker fired gun without one. I get where OP is coming from.

The whole anti-safety thing blows my mind. How many here have ever missed a duck/deer/etc because they panicked and forgot to click the safety on a gun they were familiar with? It's never happened to me. I dont forsee it happening in a self defense scenario either. Clicking the safety on my shotgun is a natural part of shouldering and I do it subconsciously. I dont see why a handgun would be any different.
