Only IF one uses bad form, develops a bad habit/s
Quote: you could, but it would not be safe doing so, you could shoot yourself doing so.( think life and death struggle) I don't think anyone has ever had any probs with a double action pull in a life or death struggle.
*also your not suppose to take the safety off until the gun is up... same reason as above.

Ummm, No, and *No.. (decocker-only gun)
Having both type ccw guns, and usage, training, staying current with each type gun I carry, applying 1, of the 4 rules of safety, is the key. And when one pulls out, and follows proper-procedure of trigger finger out of trigger guard, off trigger, one can easily thumb-cock a modern, newer, DA/SA gun without fear of thumb slippage and hammer falling back (and gun going boom) as all my guns have a key safety feature that stops the hammer from hitting the firing pin, for just that reason. Honestly, it has never happened with all my quick practice drills, and the only real danger area with either gun is in decocking them, IF one uses his thumb and trigger to decock a gun "with a decocker", as opposed to using, like with my Sigs, decocker's-only, no safety, how they should always be decocked..
But, with any of my cocked and locked SAO, they have 2 safeties, palm grip, and key, thumb-slide safety release, and with usage, staying consistent with one's ccw type guns, IF one must decock a SAO without a decocker, then it is a learned "thumb and index finger" tight squeeze on the hammer with trigger pull to let it down safely, and has always worked as taught, and learned, and practiced.. Like good habits.
DA/SA without safeties, like my Sigs decockers-only, offer both a full, fairly heavy 10lb full DA pull as a secondary safety measure, but again, pulling out, or holstering, in proper procedures, is with trigger finger out of, and off the trigger, and works without fail, again, with lots of usage/practice and making of good habits, which again, go right along with pulling out one's DA/SA gun and thumb-cocking it into SA mode at the same time, can all happen very fast, very safe, and be most effective, for such an event.
