I have had one accidental discharge, and learned a TON from it. I got my heavily modified G17 target pistol and was reholstering it, and slipped my footing, and put a round next to my foot through the bottom of my Kydex holster (mind you this was out in the country at a buddy's ranch, would never even consider carrying that beast). It was an eye opener for sure. ALWAYS index that finger, first and foremost. Second, acquired a fully stock G36 for daily carry with all safety features enabled. I've also worked many times on drawing / holstering on my different holsters to where I can do it in the dark.

KISS: I would recommend many of you try SCUBA Diving. Best way to ensure your safety is stream-lining your equipment, and get rid of extra dangleys and fancy equipment with little practical purpose. Also, you have to learn skills like detaching and reattaching equipment without being able to see them (knives, guages, regs, etc.) The training (especially technical) brings a new light to CC.

That being said, I feel that all the safety features of a 1911 wouldn't have prevented the discharge that occurred that day, except the thumb trigger. Which leads to the question of who carries with the thumb safety enabled?
