From what I read that is correct. The "added-on" magazine safety never worked very well. So it was eventually scraped. Some had the entire piece removed and others they simply cut off the part that would sit behind the trigger and keep it from moving when the safety was engaged.

I guess it's hard to engineer something new as an "add-on" that will work well. Although the sear safety "add-on" seems to work just fine.
