Yeah, I don’t feel a need to remove the mag safety. I think the trigger issue is overstated. There’s a slightly gritty take-up but then a nice crisp break. If the break were gritty or stagey it would be a different story, but it’s not. Once you’re “there”, the trigger feels about like a 1911.
A good shooter can make up for a bad trigger. The trigger doesn’t bother me as much as the mag not dropping.
