I have seen this "problem" on pistols before, so I don't think it constitutes a defect. Your thumb's on the safety when you're shooting anyway, isn't it? You might want to refer to the part as the thumb safety or slide LOCK safety, since the slide stop is a distinct part.

Either Colt or a local gunsmith can tune the safety so it no longer does that.

I just checked my LWT commander and it does it also. It's a none issue tho. I shoot with my thumb under the safety and I've never accidentally activated it.
