I prefer the DA/SA pistols with decocker. No safety needed, and it is not going to fire if something does accidentally tug on the trigger. My Sig Sauer P226 has a long 10lb trigger pull and a light SA pull for every shot after that. You can pull the hammer back manually if you like for the first shot in SA. I can wear it in a holster, or if I have a situation that I want it with me but don't want to holster it I can toss it in a bag loose and never worry about something accidentally pulling the trigger. I have an empty spot I dedicate to this in my laptop bag that nothing else goes in ever. I am in the minority on this topic, but there are times when I don't always wear mine but would like it with me. I use to carry my smith and wesson airweight 38 inside a jacket pocket for decades with no holster. No way it's going to fire by accident. I can't say that with a striker fired gun. I carry my shield that way sometimes, hope the safety works. There again, by having to rely on the safety it's one more thing to keep it from firing when I need it. I have pulled it a few times to go check out a noise at night that sounds like someone might be in the house, I do remember the safety. I wish someone built one in 9mm the size of the shield with the features of the DA SA. I don't disagree that a gun carried with no safety can be carried safely, but I would add that some guns are safer for those that might make a mistake every now and then. I have known ladies to toss a revolver in their purse and never give it another thought. I know, holster, can't get it quickly, obstructed bore eventually etc. All that said, if they do that with a baby glock a lipstick or ink pen is eventually going to find it's way into a trigger guard and press the only safety and trigger at the same time. Bang.
