Love mine in 9mm. The safety is a non-issue for me. It's not a large or "in the way" safety. It sits in a dimple/recess if you will so it will not hang on anything. My safety is on as I load the gun and put it in the holster. Once in the holster the safety is switched off. I switch it on, and then remove the gun from the holster when I'm ready to put the gun away. Yes, I know just point it in a safe direction, and I do anyway, but having a second precaution isn't hurting anything. Most CC people that I hear of that have an AD have one when removing or replacing the gun in the holster.
