What Guns do you have?

I debated it also. But realized that a safety is one more thing to think about in a pressure situation. I've been taught to keep my finger away until shooting.
For range use/safe - home defense use/ possibly competition use... a safety would just be a problem.
Plus... they come with thumb safety versions now.

I don't really like thumb safeties for the reason you listed.... but the trigger being the only one(especially the m&p style) makes me a bit nervous. the Combo of the grip+trigger on the xD made me more comfortable with the thought of carrying it on me for concealed carry. IE, gotta be holding it right for it to fire.

I like the M&P but they are further down the list.
As for safeties, its a muscle memory thing. What you practice is what you do under stress and thats why repetitive practice ensures that. I thumb off my Baby Eagle without any issues.. If you want the best of both worlds.. 1911 gives you the options to choose for yourself...

I thought you were going to go with the 1911?
How do you like the P99? I am a big fan of Walther's because they always seem to fit perfectly in my hands. a P99 or PPS will probably be my next pistol purchase.
I own a Bushmater AR-15, Walther PPKS, Walther P22, and a Keltec P3AT.

Where I'm from, I'd consider that far too heavy and bulky to conceal in shorts and a T-shirt. They aren't any good if you don't have them with you when you need them. Florida is a tough state to conceal in in the summer.
