Believe me, people are scared.I would have replaced "scared" with "prudent" otherwise I love it when we agree!
Not using a safety to reholster isn't being prudent?
So, buying a pistol without a manual safety isn't prudent. Gotcha.

prudenterI'll just temper that statement with "more prudent"
I was asking what I may have missed in my proposal that
"Chamber, Safe On, Holster, Safe Off, Carry" is a valid procedure to help aid prevention of NDs.
According to the OP, I’m talking about a handgun that needs a round chambered (semi-auto) with a manual safety.Then I will have to refer back to my first post. Depends on the firearm
You probably get a deal getting your junk sewn back on.I took the safety off my 1911. Screw that.
Decocker?According to the OP, I’m talking about a handgun that needs a round chambered (semi-auto) with a manual safety.
Post of the week.Decocker?
I also said “No Glocks”Decocker?
Not a big target. Law of probabilities rules in favor of a miss.You probably get a deal getting your junk sewn back on.

How you carry is predicated by what you carry.
IMHO:
SAO pistol: Cocked and locked. (round chambered, cocked, safety on) OR hammer down, safety off on an EMPTY chamber. I recommend against chambering a round and lowering the hammer as the hammer can slip and ND.
D/A pistol: Round chambered and decocked, safety if so installed off. This may be argued with, but even with DA pistols with a safety and decocker (Beretta, FNX for example) I prefer to carry decocked with the safety off. I feel like the heavy initial trigger pull is a better safety than a safety switch.
You fail to address the condition the pistol is in, as it relates to the safety, immediately before holstering and immediately after.Is it DA/SA or SAO?
I will refer to my first post:
Do you keep it in your left or right sock?I usually like to clear and make my pistol safe before reholstering. Can never be too safe. I also keep the mag out of it until I need it. Then It's just 1 easy step added to "Israeli carry" by stuffing the mag into the pistol right before making it hot to make a shot.
I do it for the children.

Which was the entire point of the post.
...and enhances safety.A thumb safety isn't hard to learn to use...
