Kenneth, I didn't see any mention of the Springfield XD or XDm. These pistols have proven very reliable, are reasonably priced, usually come with a bunch of accessories and lastly, in addition to the usual trigger safety such as used on the Glock, Shield and a bunch of other polymer framed, strike fired pistols, they have a grip safety.

The recently redesigned version of the XD, called the XD mod.2 has the best contoured and textured grip I've ever clamped my glue and pipe dope smeared hands around. Lots of guys with cleaner hands concur about the comfort of the Mod.2 grip. Do yourself a favor and check one out.
