I have no numbers or statistics but most of the negligent discharge stories I hear usually involve one of the pre-cocked striker fired pistols (Glock, XD, etc.)
I prefer a hammer that I can see and cock/decock.....of course, I also prefer manual transmissions in my automobiles also. Guess I'm just too much of a control freak.
The XD has a cocking indicator, and a loaded-chamber indicator that you can both see and feel (if you're in the dark). trigger disipline and a mind set on safety really help.
