Draw to a stimulus of shoot right now, I'll be on the safety as soon as the muzzle clears the holster and starts rotating up.
Ready position is an interesting situation. When I work careful clearing of the house, I'll often go onto the safety before I open a door or otherwise pie into a position to put a muzzle on a threat at close range (slow, deliberate movement). When holding and scanning and/or moving quickly - thumb under safety.
