I don't think the new grip safety is necessarily a "problem". Like other features of the '29 Swiss it isn't particularly attractive, but it is functional. It does not attach to both sides of the frame, it is just attached on one side like all of the other grip safeties, but the exterior portion wraps completely around the rear grip strap so that both grips need to be relieved to accommodate it. The wrap-around design supposedly was to preclude objects from getting under the grip safety thereby preventing it from being depressed and thus rendering the firearm non-operative. Basically it was a solution developed for a problem that, for all practical purposes, did not exist.
