I never had a grip safety. Some people do hate safeties, but I'm not one of them. All my guns; rifles, shotties and pistols have some type of safety. Part of this probably goes back to my hunting days, and the fact that I've seen guys trip and stumble in the brush and BOOM their gun goes off. Others see it differently but the good thing is M&P makes options for the buyer.
