It isn't that the pistol is unsafe, it is that your own mind needs to be better prepared to responsibly carry a loaded firearm. Searching for a firearm that allows you to circumvent that preparation is not the correct action
I carry a 1911 in condition 1 (cocked and locked) all day every day. I also compete with my carry gear. I just shot a big match this weekend, and I realize as I'm sitting here that I cannot explicitly remember sweeping off the safety in any of the stages - it's just a trained part of my draw stroke.

Find a gun you can shoot and physically carry, then train with it.
