The barrel is fixed in place in Browning style, but it also improved by eliminating the muzzle bushing. The design is top. Many pistols have separate tiny safety lever spring. This one does not. The recoil spring gives tension to safety lever.

The only disadvantage is making. Three pistols have three different quality. Not consistent.
I kind of disagree. These pistols are a slightly modified copy of a previous Browning design, used in the 1903 Colt. The Browning 1910/22 is in fact Browning's improvement of is own design. Placing the recoil spring around the barrel and replacing the concealed hammer with a striker to simplify the design.

As for the grip safety, it was present in both Browning designs. The Spanish simply deleted this feature as they also did in some of their copies of the 1911 design.
