That's why they make the bump on the grip safety. Btw, copper used a beaver tail grip, so it's not only gamers.. Most defensive pistols include them.
There again, we have an answer in search of a question. We got along for about 85 years without a speed bump, and...for those whose hands didn't fare well with the standard grip safety...with a little knowledge and understanding of the way they function...about 5 minutes spent timing the release with a smooth mill file will correct it.

Often, the release timing of some few grip safeties is whence the bug nests. Properly in spec, they should release at about the halfway point. The problem seems to be that many present-day copy and clone makers are either unable or unwilling to adhere to the proper dimensions and geometry...or they think that blueprint specs are suggestions.

For the record...I've never had to time a grip safety that released at the correct point...for anybody. I've had to adjust several that weren't within spec.
