Springfield XD-9 Subcompact – Potential Safety Problem

Springfield XD-9 Subcompact
Let me start off by saying, I think the Springfield XD-9 Subcompact is a great little gun! However, I think the design of the grip safety could potentially have a safety flaw for women and younger shooters with smaller hands. In a stressful reload or malfunction, a shooter with smaller hands could easily fail to engage the grip safety fully and not be able to get the slide to lock back to be able to clear the weapon.
Some folks have suggested just taping the grip safety down with some black electrical tape, but I would just like to see Springfield change the design so that the grip safety not being fully depressed doesn’t keep the slide from being pulled to the rear. Seems like a no brainer to me.
