It is my opinion that grips that fit well and snugly are at minimum risk while shooting. The force of the recoil tends to move the weapon back, of course. When the grips are tightly held, their tendency is move forward in relation to the frame of the gun. If there is extra play between the inside, front, vertical edge of the front strap, and the long, but thin, raised area in the corresponding part of the grip panel, it can allow the panel to move forward and contact the rear of the safety lever's shaft. Enough pressure/shock there, and whoops, there goes the million dollar chip from shooting! It's possible to establish more material on the grip to take up this slack, just a thin bead of good epoxy on the front face of the raised strip usually does it, and shows very little if tooled off properly.
