Ah ok, with the safety covered it should be all good. Don't think the "click" would help too much otherwise.

The "click" is very positive on the P 238. It's not likely the safety would come off unless you thumb it down. There is a small ball bearing behind the safety lever that engages into a ball detent.

Unless you use some downward pressure on the lever, I doubt it would move to the off position while in a holster that covers it. Loose in a purse or pocket it might get enough pressure from something pushing against it, but it's doubtful.

- about 15 rounds of CCI Blazer
- about 10 rounds of S&B
- 5 Rounds of Federal Hydrashok
- 5 Rounds of Remington Personal Defense (Golden Sabre)

ALL flawless. I love this little gun.

Yes, me too...funny thing is I never would have considered it had not my wife tried one and loved it... then I shot it to see, and it was like "whoa."
I keep hearing folks say they would not consider a cock-n-lock for a pocket carry (I wear it OWB holster anyway)...but I can't figure that out. It is designed to be carried this way. It has a thumb safety and the hammer will not go down unless the trigger is pulled. The trigger is an 8lb trigger which is as heavy as LCP, Bodyguard, etc. Though cocked-n-locked, the trigger takes same force as other pocket carries...so why is everyone so worried about these?
