In reference to the SR9:
I own a Glock, so I know that the Glocks have a safety on the trigger itself, plus a "striker safety" (And drop safety...) that is internal, and deactivated by the trigger moving all the way to the rear. But if you're grouping the Glock, XD and M&P all together as all having "integral" trigger safeties, then you can't be talking about the trigger within a trigger design of the Glock and XD. At least I haven't seen it in the M&P. Are you talking about the trigger deactivated striker safety? Also, I noticed this post may have come across as rude, just note that it is not intended to be.
Once again in reference to the SR9:
Could you explain the difference between internal and integral? It says that the SR9 has 4 safeties (A manual safety, magazine safety, trigger safety and "trigger bar interlock and striker safety"), and cannot fire unless the trigger has moved all the way back. That's the trigger safety I was referring to, although until this post I didn't notice that you called it "integral" and not "internal" which is what I thought you said.Yes, they have an internal firing pin block just like most P-series. They do NOT have a trigger catch like a Glock, XD or M&P, which is an integral trigger safety; it composes part of the trigger itself, not the internal mechanisms.
In reference to the SR9:
[it has an] Abidextrous manual safety, internal trigger bar interlock and striker blocker, trigger safety, and magazine disconnect.

Once again in reference to the SR9:
The striker has a passive trigger-activated safety bar, so the striker can't reach the primer unless you've pulled the trigger.
