I often question things that sometimes don't get much air time or maybe thought about often. Maybe because of my OCD, maybe because I always notice details and maybe just because most people go through life not being bothered by the same things that annoy me. 
The center blade safeties on many of the new breed of carry gun triggers just bother's me - one of the reasons is because they tend to pinch my finger when pulling the trigger sometimes, maybe because they can potentially get jammed by a piece of debris but most of all because to me they are essentially a useless piece on the trigger that gives you nothing more than a false sense of safety and security!!
If you inadvertently have your finger on the trigger while reholstering, unholstering , etc. and the gun gets caught or pushed forward it will STILL go bang! As a drop safety I see no real reason for it as all the modern designs have drop safeties built into them. If the trigger gets caught on something and gets a strong enough force applied to pull it, it will pull the center blade safety anyway. So the REAL point of it is...... ???? More than likely, just a feel - good, do - nothing lawyer devise for law suits or anti law suits.
And...... that is one of the major reasons I so much prefer the Sig P365 over many of the clones by other manufacturer's - it has NO center trigger blade. It has an internal drop safety and they offer the P365 with and without a manual safety. I carried mine for 3 years without the manual safety feature and then added one - they came ready for installation even in the beginning of production. To me that is a REAL safety that is efficient, easy to operate and actually makes the pistol quite safe with a round in the tube.
So again, I am more than likely one of the few here whom it bothers, but just figured if I'd post it and see if there are any other people who dislike it as well.
