The models with the safety are always easy to find and on sale.

PSA keeps on going!  S&W is doing some crazy deals now though. 

I believe that is a Gen 1 model, not a 2.0

Jack is correct.  That is a Gen 1.

Gen 2 has small front serrations, slightly different grip texturing.

Major difference is the myriad of models with integrated lasers and the Shield EZ.

I went ahead and edited the title.

Can they be easily removed?

Yes it can although it's really unobtrusive. I have a safety on mind and just never use it.

Interesting, is it just removing the actual metal bar?

This video is ponderous but its very thorough and you get a good idea of the mechanism.The downsides of the safety delete start around 8:30 or so.

 

People have said the sear pin actually doesn't come out if you leave the safety lever off but idk. I can imagine several ways to modify the safety lever so as to not be usable yet also keep the sear pin in place. Then buy a new safety lever if you ever need to sell the gun.
