People even offer a trigger holster that just covers the trigger; doesn't "increase" the effective size of the pistol for pocket carry.
From MANY years of carrying a weapon, as the weapon is coming out the safety is going off. For those new to carrying, the active safety, IMHO, would seem to be safer so they wouldn't accidentally discharge a round taking it out of a sheath or holster.
