While there are many variations of the Browning HP, I found that my 1970s vintage HP was not conducive to cocked and locked carry with the stock safety. I had an extended safety installed which made a world of difference. If you cannot draw any 1911 style handgun and swipe off the safety without thought, then something is wrong.

Also, I was never a fan of ambi-safeties. I feel that having a safety lever rubbing against your jacket just might disengage the safety without you knowing it. I'm right handed and the stock safety on the left side of the frame is sufficient and secure. Some holster designs prevent the safety from moving while holstered. This is important for a gun without a grip safety.
