A Glock has no manual safety either! As long as your finger is on the trigger the easily activated middle trigger safety is activated and so the gun will fire. Same for the Sig P365. With or without the thin safety blade in the trigger, the gun WILL fire if your finger is on the trigger. There have been many AD's within the NYPD when they first issued the Glocks because Officer's were reholstering incorrectly, had their fingers in the trigger guard, etc. The NYPD's response was to increase the standard Glock pull weight from 5.5 lbs to 12.5 lbs. That was pretty bad since many could not shoot accurately with such a heavy trigger pull.
They have just recently gone back to a standard Glock trigger (as I understand) but there is absolutely no substitute for training and practice which the NYPD is IMHO negligent in from the info I have gotten from friends and neighbors who are active NYPD.
I have actually seen so called "experts" occasionally forget to flick the safety off on pistols that have them and that was not in a stressful life and death scenario! So to each his own, but as a guy who has for over 40 years carried a J Frame Revolver with no manual safety, it's just second nature for me not to have to remember to have to flick one off.
