New to me 1920 DWM nickel plated

I fixed a broken spring on my 1906 Navy, I haven't tried to fire it yet, but it seems as if you must squeeze the bejesus out of the grips in order to get the safety forward far enough to allow the pistol to fire. I'd hate to have to rely on my perfect grip in an emergency scenario to save my own, or others lives. I can see why a gun made for the military would not want to have this "option" functional.
