While shooting a M1911, I always hold my thumb horizontal, with the thumb having very very little pressure on the grip surface. Think of it this way. Imagine placing a thumb tack, pointy side towards the thumb pad. While gripping / shooting, the thumb tack should not draw blood. That’s how lightly the pressure of the thumb should be on the grip.
