A gun that discharges on closure has a bent/sear problem. It is NOT the fault of the safety. An intercepting safety would usually prevent this.

Some guns are maladjusted so that there is movement between the bent and sear when the safe is ON so that when the trigger is pulled when on safe it will fire when the safe is released. In essence that trigger has already been pulled. This is also the result of a poorly adjusted firing mechanism. But the safety mechanism will get the blame.
