There is no contesting that point. Safety off or no safety, pull a trigger and you get a bang.
There's a generous amount of trigger area that can be depressed that will deactivate the trigger safety on a M&P. I can put my finger on either side of the trigger, and the trigger safety will disengage.
IMO, this is the one point I give the Glock's safe action trigger. The pad of my finger has to be on the exact center of that trigger, depressing that little lever, for the trigger safety to disengage.
This is something we just won't see eye-to-eye on, and that's a good thing. I think we both agree that the best "safety" is to keep your finger off the trigger until you're 100% ready to shoot, no matter the firearm.
