No.
I carry sa/da , such as a Beretta PX4 Storm , with a slide mounted decocker/safety. I carry with round chambered , hammer down , safety off. Draw , pull trigger , bang. No safety to release after the draw. I can easily live with the first shot being da.
Not silly , preference.
Berettas suck. That's why I have 5 of them. Had a few 3rd gen Smiths too. I was dropped on my head as a toddler , resulting in my inability to resist buying guns that suck.
Why all the fuss regarding slide mounted safeties? If you don't like 'em , don't buy 'em.
I came close to buying a Ruger P89/90 9mm DAO and I don't why I didn't. I'm not sure why Ruger discontinue the P series.
That's really what it comes down to I think. There's plenty of variety to accommodate everyone.Why all the fuss regarding slide mounted safeties? If you don't like 'em , don't buy 'em.
The very best kind. Is there a technical reason DA/SA Autos can't have a Decocker/Safety combo on the frame?
The Ruger DAO P series pistol I was checking out didn't have a safety, and I was able to pull the trigger quite easy. The Eastern European .22 semi auto clone on the hand, I barely got the DA trigger to even bunged with both trigger fingers...My P-series Rugers are both .45 decockers. I think one of the leading reasons for the demise of the P-series was the slide mounted safety/decocker. It is awkward to manipulate one-handed and counter-intuitive if you are familiar with the 1911. I have to shoot two-handed because of a tremor and thus have no trouble flipping the safety Off with the supporting hand...but for carrying, I'd much rather go with a revolver or a Glock.
Not familiar with the DAO P-series. Don't know whether they have a safety or not. If they did have a safety, I'd be tempted to carry safety Off.
Nearly everybody carries a Traditional Double Action (TDA) auto pistol with the safety off.I think one of the leading reasons for the demise of the P-series was the slide mounted safety/decocker. It is awkward to manipulate one-handed and counter-intuitive if you are familiar with the 1911.

So it's like no safety. So you agree with me.

Weren't you talking about TDA guns, and the P320 is a striker fired gun.The P320 without the "voluntary upgrade" is not drop safe.
But not every TDA auto pistol is drop safe in that condition.

I'm sorry but I must respectfully disagree.Safeties that are kept in the 'safe' position until firing need to be wherever they can be accessed by the firing hand.
This is my biggest problem with slide mounted safeties and the reason that I don't agree that they can simply be ignored if you don't like how they work. It would be bad enough to have to perform a clearance drill in the middle of a gunfight. The icing on the cake would be unintentionally putting your gun on safe in the process because you bumped the slide mounted safety.There is a risk of engaging a slide safety when racking the slide.
