I gotta step in here. Back when I carried my Glock 19, I would carry it in a kydex appendix holster at about 1o'clock. I did so for the comfort, concealability, and accessibility. Never did I worry about an accidental discharge with it for a number of reasons.
The aforementioned passive safety systems were one of them. There was no way that gun was going to go off unless I drew it and pulled the trigger. The other reason was my particular holster. It was constructed of a hard kydex shell that formed to the exact shape of the gun. Retention was provided by the design of the shell, "clipping" the gun into place. Not only was it not going anywhere until I intentionally drew it, but it would be impossible for anything to access the trigger while the gun was in my holster.
Safe carrying is all about knowing your system, which includes your gun and holster; how they work and how to utilize them properly. I can't speak on behalf of those who would have a negligent discharge, and frankly, I don't care. They are not me.
