I was always taught to "ride the thumb safety" as well. My support hand thumb is actually closer to the trigger guard than the thumb safety. I was taught that to tell you had a proper grip (not during live fire, but learning to grip) you should be able to touch your support thumb and your trigger finger through the trigger guard. If you couldn't, then the grip was bad. Don't know. Seems to work for me. <shrug>
