AK Swift Lever
A serious design flaw of the Kalashnikov rifle is that one must move their hand off the grip to engage the safety lever. Well, not any more. Blackjack now offers the S.W.I.F.T. lever to remedy that problem.

Does this problem exist on the AK-74 as well? Also, why isn’t this newer variant as popular?

AK-74 wasn’t as popular due to the wimpy round (5.45X39) compared to the AK47. Plus, when the 74 for came out, there were already millions of 47s on the market. The Chinese, for example, stuck with them.
And the problem is on all Kalashnikov’s except the galil (IIRC).
