Agree. I mentioned before that not flipping the safety might occur more in non standard draws and positions. Seen that a few times.
When I got my Les Baer 9mm, I told myself I'm going to keep a working grip safety. I tuned it such that it deactivated with the slightest amount of pressure. I shot the gun for nearly 2 years without issue. Then one day at a steel match, I failed to deactivate the grip safety on the fastest stage, smoke and hope, not once but TWICE. 2 years and lots of practice without incident, but one high pressure / speed to deliver scenario and it / "we" choked. It was deactivated the very next day.
