I had the chance to see the new lever on the handle post hinge and it's a step back in safety or confidence because there's no visual confirmation of whether the safety lock is engaged because it's built into and hidden behind the lever. The trigger is a flimsy plastic hook that slides behind a small diameter head of a protruding pin/bolt, with the closing side of the hook being beveled so that it locks into place by itself with closing the lever without needing to squeeze the trigger, like a door latch bolt. But the plastic hook is pushed into the lock position by an incredibly tiny and weak spring that looks like it may pop out. And the trigger doesn't spring back to it's full neutral position so it's sort of wiggling or has backlash or play or whether best describes it.
Also it's very difficult to grip and pull down the lever if it's been adjusted tight. It's a tiny lip where only one or two finger tips can reach behind. And you need to squeeze it while pulling to disengage the lock and to expose more of the lip to get a better grip. The old original lever is much easier to grip and operate.
