Sigs (DA/SA) popularity was the result of a very usable and safe pistol that doesn't have a manual safety. On the other hand the 1911 was a very usable and safe pistol because it had a manual safety that worked very well. Well enough that most carry it in condition 1. Note that it isn't a slide mounted safety.
There are enough different systems out there that a person can choose the one they want. If you happen to be issued a pistol that you don't like I guess that's just part of the job.
If I get to choose my carry it will be something without a safety. That leads me to Sig 200 series, LEM or a revolver. Striker would also work but I'm not a fan.
Regardless of how one shoots themselves it isn't cool. If you need a safety to avoid that then you should probably have one.
