There are two problems with that. First: This would push the other end of it against the grip safety, and may interfere with the function. Second: I know I'll break the damn thing...

That would be a pretty clever solution. It seems to have the right bend to it, but is feels kinda loose in the pivot hole. I guess I could turn a pin with a slightly larger diameter right where it holds the safety. It might even help to shim the safety lever a bit to tighten it up against the pin.
