My method (PD instructor taught) is be sure safety is off as it goes in the holster for the day. Safety on only when instructed on the range or (my own option) when I put it away at home. Since there's a "ridge" where the safety rests in the off position, I've never worried about accidentally flipping it up. Thanks for your time!
I don’t carry my 9 Compact or .45 M&P, so I’ve never bumped the safety off or on. But as I said, I’d prefer a one sided safety lever and a more positive click. The Ruger SR9 guns had a great safety. One side, less obnoxiously big, and a nice positive click as it went off or on. I think the Shield lever is nearly perfect. I’d like a hair wider safety rather than the one that is so flush.
