One, nobody expects to be able to do so.

You get used to it pretty fast. I like the feature. After cleaning or dry firing, you cock it and put the safety on, then load a magazine, chamber a round, and it is ready to go without ever taking the safety off.

Two, it creates the possibility of having the gun loaded, UNcocked and locked, and what a surprise that would be if you needed the gun?

Not sure how you would get there without lowering the hammer with the trigger. Maybe you missed that the slide doesn't move with the hammer down and the safety on? If I understand your concern correctly, that obviates it.

Three, the shape and positioning of the thumb safety are much compromised relative to ease of use, in order to allow racking with the safety on.

I have no problem manipulating the safety. I feel like it is kind of in proportion to the rest of the gun, and thus feels like I expect. I'm not sure how the racking feature affects the shape and positioning of the safety lever. What am I missing about this argument?
