I recently bought a Leica M6. I got a softie for it, just because I
has heard so many good things about it. My impression was exactly
that, with the softie on I had to be extra careful as to where I put
the camera, to avoid accidental firings. Don't even think about
putting it inside a jacket pocket.
And, as an unrelated note, don't even think about putting an M6 in a
jacket pocket and jumping. I dropped my M6 on a stone floor this way,
only 4 days after getting it. It is now in the shop getting a new
rewind knob. Amazingly, the rangefinder, meter and shutter were
intact, as well as the lens that was on the camera at that moment.
