I have a Shield 9mm with thumb safety. At the time, it was not available without the safety. I am glad it has a thumb safety. I have the option of using it or not using it. I have practiced draw and shoot so many times that it has become automatic to sweep off the safety when I draw.
Yes, if I had the choice now, I would choose the model with the thumb safety again. I carry IWB with a round chambered and it's just an added margin of safety against a ND when re-holstering.
