I feel if it has a safety you have to use it. Always.
If it were a 1911, oh yes, on the Shield, no, not really. The only real difference between the Shield with the safety and the one without, the one without has a plastic block filling the void where the safety lever would normally reside. The trigger safety and striker block are still in place on both models. With the safety disengaged, there's no difference between the two models and a Glock. Keep the "booger hook" off the "bang switch" until it's time to engage a target and you'll be fine.

Good Luck and good shooting.
