Interesting. 10 years ago, doesn't seem to have caught on in a big way.
Bruce Gray used to do a modification, maybe still does, where the tail part of the safety is fixed in place. Only the vertical part on the back strap still functions as a safety.
I always thought that was interesting, and would like to try it, as I often have trouble with the web of my thumb pressing up against the tail thus engaging the safety.

Like a recovering addict, JMB gave up his control in service to a Hi power as he understood it... in order to get a better grip on things.
May the Swartz be with you.
If I ever have a complete custom build done my goal is to have that part installed. I view the GS on 1911’s as superfluous.
As for it catching on I thought I remembered Novak’s not selling the part. If you wanted it you had to have them install it.
You can tune a 1911's grip safety so that it disengages with 1/3rd to 1/2 of it's travel.
This plus a memory bump makes it a non-issue unless you have boney cadaver hands.
Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.
A 1911 with a manual safety and grip safety is one of the few guns I would feel safe carrying AIWB.
