The one thing with going with a gun with a safety is remembering to take it off. I've seen lots of people not get that down to instinct, and sit there squeezing a dead trigger. I prefer guns without a manual safety... and there usually is one or more internal safeties.
That is exactly why a DAO trigger like the LCP is in effect the "safest" way to pocket carry. As safe, or more so than most guns with a manual safety plus safer for the person carrying it if it is ever needed for self defense. No matter how much training, and oractice, in the stress of an attack it is completely possible to forget the safety, or miss it when you try to disengage it.
It's worked quite well with revolvers for many, many years. Draw and fire, point and shoot. No mistakes to make with a safety lever.
