I have a late '20s Model 1908. I love shooting it. It points surprisingly well, and is very accurate. It even feeds hollow points (never had a single malfunction with 400+ hydra shoks), though these days, I am less certain that a .380 should be carried with hollow points (you lose a lot of penetration). I have never found the manual safety at all difficult to disengage either. In fact, it always struck me as ideal for a pocket gun's manual safety -- flat enough not to impair concealment in any way, but positive and easily engaged. If I were going to carry a .380 anymore, I'd have no problem carrying my Colt.
Having said that, I doubt I'll ever carry it again. My Walther PPS is nearly as flat, has far better sights, weighs no more, and fires a much more potent cartridge. What's more, if anything on it breaks, it's easy to get fixed.
