Anybody else have this problem?: when I try to rack a pistol with a heavy recoil spring and a frame-mounted thumb safety in the "up" or safe position, the safety level often prevents me from racking the slide all the way back. Also, I have to take blood thinners and sometimes when I hit the safety lever when racking the slide it gives me bruise, or even worse, cuts my hand open (hate to bleed all over my pistol). I suppose I could leave the safety in the "down" position, but that kind of negates the reason for having one. I guess the other solutions would be to trade the current pistol for one without a thumb safety or trade it in for a double-action revolver.
