You've never fired a revolver? Not many of them with a manual saftey. I do understand where you're coming from though for holster carry. I personally prefer traditional da/sa autos with no external safety. Sig Sauers, 3rd gen Smith & Wessons and such. No safety to manipulate but a long double action trigger pull on the first shot.

Striker fired guns do seem to me to have an added risk factor. Police have switched to them enmase. It seems to me that there have been a much higher incidence of accidental discharges with such guns. Glocks are single action guns carried cocked and unlocked.

You have to decide for yourself. Oh, and no, you won't notice the safety digging into you when carrying the gun.

All firearms should be treated as if they are loaded and ready to fire. You daughter should never get ahold of any gun in your care, safety or not.
