I found a couple of good examples in my photo archive... and Dwight... you are absolutely right.

There appears to be no good engineering reason for the step you have pointed out except as the top retaining shoulder for a grip safety. If they had eliminated this step then the grip frame backstrap could have been symmetrical at least IMHO.

Looks like they did it that way because they always did it that way and no one told them to change it.
