All is not lost. The beaver-tail grip safety was designed to address this problem as well as get the hand higher into the pistol for better control. In the attached image is a Series 70 Colt that has had the grip safety tang and pistol tang rounded off to get rid of sharp edges, and the hammer has been bobbed slightly. This was done after a Cooper course back in the eighties in which I finished the last day with the web of my hand bloody and heavily bandaged because of the sharp edges and hammer bite. I think the hammer could be bobbed a bit more, as my fleshy hand sometimes still gets snapped by it.
Or you can have a beaver tail safety installed...
