Well the missed safety, I did miss mine, once! Had a buddy video camera 1 yard behind the RO at an USPSA/IPSC match, he showed me I was disengaging the safety, 4" out of the holster! Not good, but I had been doing it for a while, obviously.
As I am old! I am old school re grip, right thumb down, left thumb trapping the right.
We were more interested in protecting from a grab close in (when I started IPSC, and teaching) than laying thumbs nearly on the slide, and slowing said slide down.
I grip a revolver the same way. It is my way, all the top shooters use the open hand grip, thats OK, just not for me.
My IPSC 1911 was made in 1913! And had the wee nubbin safety catch, was never a problem, till I missed it! Then Glock 17, I had to convince the Finger Lakes (NYS) CRO it was double action only, in order to use it, but 18 rounds instead of 9 was a kind of an advantage, I thought.
