My thumbs forward grip was causing FTRB issues due to my thumb rubbing on the slide (as evidenced by streaks on the bottom of the slide). Low thumb was causing problems with inadvertent flicking of the extended safety to safe while shooting strings. (Long thumbs can cause problems, just like short ones, only different...)

Had Bob Hunter convert the extended safety on my Baer to something closer to MilSpec, and kept the low thumb. My UTC now runs like the Swiss watch other people had described the UTC as being before I bought it.

This is not a knock on the Baer, it is simply a pointer that individual anatomy and physiology can play a big part in ideal grip, and in equipment setup.
