In this sequence I would consider safety's effectiveness (from weaker to stronger):

. Trigger safety, e.g. grip safety on many Browning designed pistols;
. Sear safety and Hammer safety, I would consider they are at almost same level. e.g. Luger's manual safety, C96's safety level, 1911's manual safety, etc. Many old pistols fall into this category;
. Firing pin safety, e.g. P38's safety. Advanced design at that time, and popluar post WWII.
