How to grip a GI style 1911...
Who says you are supposed to keep your thumb on the safety? Bullseye shooters do that, for what reason I have never figured out since I have not shot bullseye since my Army days and wasn't very good then.
Put your thumb back down on the grip, and put the pad of your support hand on top of your strong-hand thumb when shooting two-handed. Makes the gun recoil straight back and helps your bottom fingers pull the gun back down out of recoil.
