In my opinion, a 226 with a standard trigger is going to be safer to carry than one with a SA trigger kept on safe. It's far easier to imagine a situation where the safety would be accidentally kept off and then the short SA trigger pulled inadvertently than a situation where you somehow accidentally overcame that long DA trigger pull.

I can understand the reasons why you'd want a SA trigger for your 226, but safety shouldn't be one of them.
