I don't like slide safeties either, but that's why I liked the Taurus PT92 better than the Beretta (as I've said in a bunch of posts on here). However, I'm not sure if you can really activate it when chambering the gun. In my experience, the slide serrations are long enough and the safety unobtrusive enough that this doesn't happen.

As for the size issue, the 92F is a pretty big gun, but it's not like you can't buy more compact variants (the Centurion, for example).

Interesting. Though I doubt they'll sell many of them here. At this point, it's pretty much impossible to displace Glock from its current share of the market (LE or civilian). Also, I read a review of the M1 (the original, not the M1A) which complained about the grip angle and circumference. I can't comment myself, of course, because I've never seen nor held one.
