I haven't compared the two but I think it would alter the grip angle.

I have only seen factory ones also, at least for the 4506 guns. Since they were used by LE's for while, surplus mags are around. I bought a group of 4 to save money.

I have yet to do it on any of mine by accident and I usually slingshot my pistols. I have to intentionally try to do it, in order to engage the safety. If you have a good enough hold on the slide, it shouldn't be a problem.

If you want to do a true speed reload, just drop the empty mag with one still in the chamber. Then you don't have to fool around with the slide.
