I'll be honest I wasn't big on the safety aspect either; reminded me of the 1911s, not that there's anything wrong with those it's just I didn't care for the safety but this is awesome so thanks for the heads up and now I'm going to buy one.

I'm afraid to do the trigger spring kit now because it might pass my CZ 75BD as my favorite handgun. Can't have that!
edit: I put this grip on it too. Made a huge difference for me.

I view the external safety like I do a sheath on a chainsaw blade.
For storage and/or transportation, the mechanical safety is an inert stand-in for trigger discipline.
You do not use a chain saw with the sheath on the blade.
The REAL question is, when you strap up in the AM, are you carrying a comforting binky or a defensive tool?

Are you not in control of your own pants?

Sarcasm my friend. Glocks are hideous. Although i truly do carry one for the reliability and no external safety. It's not winning any beauty contests. Haha

The bar/chain sheath isn't a 'safety' as a chainsaw cannot be used with the 'sheath' in place.
A better example to compare it to a gun safety might be the chain brake.

The Beretta is a little lighter but not much. 35 vs 38 oz. The CZ is more ergonomic. The Beretta trigger is shorter, crisper and has shorter reset, but you may only notice that shooting them side by side or shooting really precisely, pulling the trigger very slowly. But I usually shoot better groups with the 75. The grip is narrower on the 75 but the reach to the trigger is about the same once you change the Beretta's grips. I've had lots of people shoot the CZ and go "I want one of these" and none with the Beretta even though it's a really good gun. You should shoot both of them. They're both great guns.

I predate chain brakes.
And in your world, a sheath might not be considered a safety device, but safety (not cutting clothing, upholstery, other tools in the truck) is the entire purpose in my world.
If you want to stuff your piece in your waistband leaving mechanical safety being responsible for the bomb in your pants, go ahead.
We also did not have passenger/seat belt indicators, Neutral switches on manual trannies, and the plethora of other devices that keep people from hurting themselves.
Hell, Lil' Bro and I had REAL Lawn Darts!
Safe to say we disagree.

Pull it out and she's ready to run.
No monkeying with manual safeties.
Yup and it's true the super lefty anti gunners who caved and the newbs who panic bought are purging these Glocks and can't figure out why a NIB Gen 3 or 4 G19 they paid $650+ for is worth $490 or less. Then they get all butt hurt when a dealer won't pay more than $170 to buy it back.

It is model dependant, I do not believe the early model are convertable but the later models are.

I haven't shot a 226 enough to give you a proper comparison. But if you're thinking you shouldn't have ditched it, you probably shouldn't have.
Don't it always seem to go, you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone.
Its still at my FFL, kind of pricey. It gets lots of looks but no buyers... I think that I should go get it tomorrow....
