Personally, I doubt it.

I don't think so. I've heard from a lot of people say they don't like grip safety.

I can't imagine why people don't like it. It's all-natural. Hold the pistol and the safety works. My EDC is an XD-s and I don't even notice the grip safety. All I do is hold the thing. Same as a 1911.

Honestly, I would like to see one on a Hellcat...but what do I know?

Love the grip safety. Why I always carried Colt until Springfield came out.

Not needed on the Hellcat or any striker fired pistol. The 1911 yes, it’s fine and works great. I understand the grip safety just like I understand why Glock uses “safe action trigger” trigger safety. Two different platforms here we are talking about here so keep this in mind on why I don’t see why it’s needed. My opinion.

I never thought of it that way. I've just assumed it's a preference.

Is the grip safety on 1911's because of hammer fired?

I really like the added safety of the grip safety on the XD series, it’s one reason I started buying them since I was used to it on the 1911.

Well yes and no. As you know the 1911 has a safety. The grip safety is on there, for the short of it in case of an accidental discharge if the pistol was dropped.

I guess I should say, I’m about safety of firearms. I don’t want any unwanted discharges. I understand the “natural” grip and how it depresses the grip safety. My deal with the two different platforms are I feel the grip safety on a striker fired is not needed in comparison to a 1911. I like the trigger safety better, comparing safeties. It’s mechanical and something could go wrong, not saying it will, which is why I, personally like, if I have one on the trigger vs the grip, excluding the 1911. This is me and my preference. I’ve said it 100 times and I’ll say it 1,000 more. SA makes excellent firearms and I have never had an issue with their firearms. I do and still recommend them.

Why? Everyone I know hates the XD line because of it.

 

[xdman]

That would be an XDS.

 

[adam sr]

I love all my XD.

My take is it promotes a positive grip as well as being a safety, if the gun is not held properly or firmly enough then it won’t shoot. I don’t even think about it anymore.
