What do you most commonly use and why?

Safeties.

First thing I do when I get home is sit down, pull the decockers/spring out of the frame and install the safeties.

First handgun I carried and shot a lot was a 1911.  Thumb safety.   I've had other guns without thumb safeties (Browning BDM, Glock, XDM) and moved on from them.  Never got them to shoot like the old 1911s and kept looking for something that would shoot similar groups.

The M&Ps, FNS, and one XD have thumb safeties but the majority of them won't shoot to my standards.

Why?  I normally carry a P07 with thumb safeties.  If I were to find another gun that shoots to suit me (the M&P Shield 9MM does and it has a thumb safety, too) that I might want to carry it should operate the same way. 

Consistency is very important.  People have proven that under stress you react as you've trained to react.  So what do you do when you carry a revolver one day, a semi auto with no safety another day, a semi auto with decockers another day, etc., etc., etc?

Whether I'm carrying the usual P07, the P01 Omega, the M&P Shield, or (very seldom) an FNS-C .40 that also has thumb safeties they all operate the same.  Same way to carry it, same way to make it go bang, same way to drop and empty magazine, same way to load a fresh magazine.
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

I agree with M14; consistency.  However, I’m in the decocker side as I shoot and carry revolvers frequently, so am comfortable with the DA trigger ( more so with my CGW enhanced pistols).

Comes down to preference, training, comfort

Above is how CZ outlined it on their site.

The Omega is the first gun I ever had with a decocker and prolly would feel more comfortable with the safety and would prefer SA to DA. However their video on youtube for changing them out was very poor to see what was actually being done.

I think the instructions are also in the owner's manual.  They were when I got my P07 (last time I looked at the instructions.  Since then the two P09s, the second P07 and two P01s (as well as putting CGW firing pin block springs and trigger springs in the plastic framed guns) it's not too bad.

Taking the decockers (and spring) out and putting the safeties in is said to be way easier than taking the safeties out and putting the decockers and spring back in it.  Some people here have made up special little tools to help get that spring in place.
