For "practical" use of the pistol, as opposed to bullseye or plinking, placing the thumb on top of the safety has been the accepted best practice for about forty years. If someone can't comfortably hold the pistol that way, then they will have to hold the thumb below the safety, though they can also replace the stock safety with one which locates the lever lower, to reduce the reach.
