Because anyone who has spent any amount of time with the LC9S will come away impressed both with it's accuracy and it's superb trigger. IMO Ruger hit an out of the park Home Run with this particular pistol.
BTW, I carry the LC9S Pro every day with a round in the chamber and my Safety for this model is that it is ALWAYS resident in it's pocket holster for any routine handling. Plain truth is that if you have it in a holster there just isn't any real potential for the trigger to get snagged. As for concerns about what might happen if I had to actually draw the pistol, I have spent many hours practicing this skill with the pistol empty but the striker cocked and have trained myself to the point where I am confident I won't hit the trigger during a draw.
However I won't even consider criticizing anyone who prefers the standard LC9S with it's thumb safety and it's magazine safety. If you have children in the home multiple layers of safety is always the best approach. It's also good to insure that any child over 4 understands proper safe handling and the importance of never treating a firearm as a toy.
Quite simply circumstances can dictate which model is the better choice for a specific individual and I will give a tip of the hat to Ruger for allowing it's customers to have a choice they can make for themselves.
