From my understanding, you can just remove the manual safety components. You'll have a cut out, of course, but you won't have to deal with the safety itself. It's not quite as bad a the Hillary Hole on an S&W that can fill with gunk (kinda like the real Hillary Hole...?)I regret buying the version with a manual safety, although it’s just a matter of buying a different grip frame for $40 to remove it. The Icarus metal frames look amazing, but they are pricey and require all new holsters.
