The safety on the Shield is a non issue as I keep it disengaged. I believe S&W put it there because they knew people would improperly jam the gun into a pocket (and quite possibly with objects) causing a AD.

I don't understand where the condescension is coming from. I never said anything about me wanting the manual safety because I don't know how to handle a gun safely.
I want one in the event a bad guy were to grab my gun from my holster.
And not every bad guy on the planet knows how every safety works. A safety on my dads 1911 saved his life ten years ago. A bad guy grabbed his gun and tried to shoot him with it. The safety was on and my dad was able to pull his backup and shoot the guy before he could disengage the safety.
