Disassembling the gun is not the easiest, and putting it back together is quite a challenge (understatement).
I swear, sometimes I feel blessed that the first autoloader I spent any time with was a CZ52. I have very high tolerance for poor sights, low trigger quality, difficult (and/or mildly dangerous) disassembly, and loooong grip profiles (also sharp corners).
Be thankful you don't need a cut-down screw driver, a padded vise, a face shield, and
very strong & coordinated hands to compress that loooooooong heavy recoil spring back over the barrel (with very little support against buckling) and wrench it far enough forward to seat the barrel back in its pocket, before using your steel-plated rock crusher fingertips to pull down that stiff, smooth takedown plunger to get the slide back on/off the frame.

A second issue I have with the gun is operational. After 40 years of shooting single-action guns with manual safeties (primarily 1911s, but also BHP, M&Ps, and CZs), my strong-side thumb seeks out something to press during the draw and during firing.
I noticed this too, but quickly found I was just resting my thumb on my middle finger tip (quite low for the thumb come to think of it; perhaps this is why I'm not getting slide-bite?). Basically, make a fist and point like the evil monkey;
I did experiment with some alternate grip panels early on, and I did make the swell a bit thicker & taller on the left side, but found giving my thumb a place to rest actually made the recoil feel 'weird' to what I was used to by that point. This is giving me an interesting supposition as far as the grip discomfort some encounter now; maybe the 1911/etc folks out there used to a thumb shelf high up are squeezing the sides of the gun with their thumb trying to find good purchase for it, and in doing so are loosening the front/back grip force the gun needs to deactivate the safety and control the more in-line recoil of the low bore axis (the result is the gun slides back and forth inside their palm with each shot, smacking their palm, scraping the web of their hand against the beaver tail underside, and even releasing the safety)
