Other than 1911s, I just don't care for safeties.
Other than my 1911, there are no safeties or mag disconnects on any handgun of mine. SIGs, Glocks, and the new M&P (coming this weekend) all rely on horse sense.
No saftey, didn't want it for a carry gun.

BTW, thunder 71, do you feel that saftey? Those things appear to be kinda bulky.

No more than a 1911... pretty natural position for it to be, doesn't get in the way when shooting if that's what you mean?
Disclaimer:
My opinion shouldn't be taken seriously due to the fact that I've been shooting guns for over 30 years and have only recently been active on gun forums, where all the real world knowledge apparently is.
I have a FS 9 and a Shield. One with and one without. Have a LS 9mm Pro coming w/o. Two without one with.
I have a .380 Bodyguard and that has a safety but not an M&P. I will stop now.

My Shield has a safety but I don't use it. I'm a lefty and there is no reason for it anyway.

I will rarely post, but will read (and hopefully learn) a lot
It's a safety and I like them. I have gotten use to switching them off when I practice. I guess I rather have the extra protection albeit rare I just rather have the protection. Safety first fellas
I own 8 M&Ps...4 have safeties:
- 22 with safety
- 45 Dark Earth mid-size with safety
- 9 Shield with safety
- 40 Shield with safety
- 9c (police issue) with Crimson laser
- 40c with Crimson laser
- 40 FS with Crimson laser
- 45. FS
The safeties don't bother me. I'm use to the one on the Shield.

safety on mine, doesn't bother me. feels just like a 1911.
my M&P9c is with illuminated sights and the thumb safety.
at first i thought i wouldn't like the safety, but i like it.
speaking of the illuminated sights, they are great. they are basically glow in the dark. a few seconds of light and they glow all night.
no need to spend the $ to get night sights.
