Running that grip enough you remember where to keep your thumb

I used to do that, and I saw my slide was not locking back alot, then I realised what I was doing. Now I put my thumb on the outside of my support hand.

Well, I didn't want to lose the added control of having the thumb on the safety, so I just practiced having it on the safety but out of the way
