We have a BG, an LCP, and an LC9.

I carry the LC9, GF carries the BG, and the LCP... actually I don't know where it is

I'm not a big fan of a safety on a pistol... except for every day carry guns. Reason is the thing is kept chambered and gets un-holstered and re-holstered in IWB and pocket holsters throughout the week. With it locked there is much less chance of a trigger getting snagged on a wardrobe malfunction and resulting in an accidental discharge.

The safety on both the BG and LC9 are easily swept on draw and will not easily engage accidentally.

I loved the idea of my SD9 VE having no safety until I began storing it in a SpeedVault (drop open model) and the way the gun is retrieved, it makes one want to grab around the trigger when it's drawn. Since I'm not the only one that has access to it we decided to leave it un-chambered. Where as if it had a safety, I'd have it cocked and locked.
