You should certainly use a gun that you are confident in your ability to handle. There are a lot of them without manual safeties, get one you like and quit worrying about it.

The thing about practice is that you have to know what to practice, how to practice, how to know when you are doing it right, and how to tell if you are improving.

Formal training and regular refresher courses are a good idea.

Competition in IDPA or IPSC will let you know how your gunhandling and shooting are if you can avoid the Dogmatic Tactician's Alarums over "bad habits." You don't have to game it. I see people every week shooting their actual carry guns out of their daily carry holsters. Even more use something similar enough to be of value.
