I am a serial safety forgetter despite being an avid shooter for 20 years. Just ask anyone that has ever duck hunted with me. I never forget to put them on, but I constantly forget to take them off when I'm excited. In spite of thousands of rounds of training I have never gotten over it so I work around my personal shortcoming by using pistols with no thumb safety and a safe trigger system. Either a striker fired pistol with a long takeup and a trigger dongle or a DA/SA with a decocker that has no safe position is my preference.
I have carried pistols with manual safeties such as 1911's, star 9mm's, ruger SR pistols, and a few double action single action pistols and on numerous occasions I've found the safety has either gotten pushed on or off depending on where I left it while in the holster so I would just rather not have one at all. I do a lot of physical work and my guns get bumped and rubbed on stuff. I carried a ruger SR for awhile and just used the strategy of leaving the safety off, but I managed to bump that on a few times in spite of the SR safety being very low profile, so I abandoned that practice and only carry pistols with no safety.
