Still, I'm realizing how much training and thought has to go into this possible transition. I just need to decide and then practice, practice, practice, ....

Again, thanks to everyone...

IMHO, this is what is going to cause more difficulty than taking the safety off with removal from the holser...every time. You will realize this when the adrenaline hits...you may be caught trying to pull the trigger with no 'click-pow'.
Think about it, if your safety comes off automatically out of the holster, now you just have a Glock.
Holding back on the safety will only confuse your muscle memory.
The only safety you need is the finger...again, OMOYMV

Just remember that the same principal applies to you and the assailant. If it takes him and/or her longer to make the firearm function it takes you longer also. Hoping he or she isn't familiar with the weapon you're using versus being able to use that weapon efficiently enough to keep him or her from taking it from you ain't a good plan.

Part of my at home training(when I am home alone ONLY) is a draw/cover/shoot drill.
I unload the gun in one room, double checking and det a timer for random interval. I go about my normal activities until that timer goes of. At that time I practice as if someone just broke in. Move to a position of cover as quickly as possible, while drawing and flipping off the safety in one motion. At htis point I would be ready to fire if it were a real event.
This drill reinforces that motion of flipping off the safety as the gun clears the holster. By practicing the drill this way I am training the muscle memory consistantly, so that if I ever have to defend myself the habits are already in place.
After a few on these mini-drills I do a bit of dry fire exercises, then reload and reholster.
