I'm with TAROMAN, the safety isn't an issue. You can still teach people about using a safety if you want to whether or not it's ambidextrous. Personally, I can't remember the last time I engaged a safety on any of the semi-autos I shoot. They are all DA/SA and I feel that the long heavy trigger pull is safe enough. Of course I don't carry so I can feel safe without using a safety.
I feel that you are making too big a deal of the safety. It's an inexpensive pistol that is a remake of an older design and they probably could not justify the expense of making the safety ambidextrous. They already made the mag release on the side instead of heel type, and that probably used up all the cost they could justify. Every little change costs, and companies today are all about the bottom line.
