I removed it for two reasons, one not too important and one VERY important.
Not too important > It makes the pistol wider and adds nothing to the safe operation of the pistol, it is redundent.
VERY important > The spring and detent were not strong enough to prevent accidental actuation of the safety unknowingly.
I removed the safety the day after it was put on safe accidently during a serious social event.
If it were as positive as all of my 1911 types, I would not have removed it.
