So I'm quite used to it. Use mainly as decocker and carry one in chamber, so "safety" is long DA trigger pull. Beretta is also same. Always in holster with trigger covered though. Not a big fan of the ambi version though. When I shoot 1911 I have to think about safety, as opposed to 2nd nature. But won't sell em...fun to shoot. Just don't carry that platform. Guess I'm a wimp, but carrying a gun with round chambered and hammer back freaks me out.
That is something that takes trust and time...Even hit mine with a rubber hammer
to make sure that "Cocked & Locked" was safe as everyone said it was...

My first pistol was a Star 30M, which had a decocker, so you could load it,
charge it, then use the FP safety where a little cover slid over the firing pin,
then simply flip it up to go BANG, or push down a little extra to decock
