I agree wit Dave 686, I know several persons that have shot themselves with striker fired pistols. Besides you are not alone in The World, people have kids and wants an extra safety when un holster his/her gun, women carry them in their purse, some w/o a holster, some men carry Mexican style, pants got lose, you may lose your name. In ideal conditions, no need for a manual safety, as with revolvers; but if something can go wrong, it will go wrong, Murphys Law. Old "revolver shooters in PR have a saying, "pistols always carry a bullet for the owner" and styker firing pistols make it easier.
