Yeah, the English, and to some extent the Americans, never really embraced the manual safety on a single-action pistol.
My Grandpa Eli was a machine gunner in WWII. And he said that he would chamber a round at night before he went to sleep and engage the safety, but when he woke up, he would revert to Condition Three. JCordell makes a very valid point. Most folks who strap on a gun for a living aren't shooters as we all are, for the most part. Heck, my PDM never fired anything bigger than .22 LR at Boy Scout camp before he went through Basic. And he just took to it. I too am a fan of the Beretta. I like big, solid steel handguns. I got away with shooting in Single Action when I shot for score with it. I even used it once in lieu of my carbine. Got myself a shiny trinket for it, too. My only problem with the M-9 is the 9x19 FMJ is crappy self defense round.

Oops...meant to say American military there.
Which is wierd because the requirement of a frame mounted safety is a continual requirement for service pistols.  I don't see the problem with carrying condition one, in fact, I feel safer when a carry my M-1991A1 in condition one than I do with my Glock and just the DAO trigger pull as my safety.

Well the Glock trigger isn't a double action trigger nor is it really a single action trigger. But all guns of its type are advertised to be safe without a manual safety

Ah yes, the SAFE ACTION TRIGGER.
 DA by any other name.

As I said, it doesn't feel like a DA trigger because of the reset
