I have been shooting a 1911 occasionally. It has what appears to be what some may call a high grip thumb safety (the lever is at the top of the safety). The way I grip the pistol the weak hand completely covers the safety when it is in the off position. So much so that if I have a firing grip I cannot disengage the safety without removing my weak hand. I am using thick grips that are as wide or wider than the safety so I don't have issues bumping the safety on. Is this a common issue with the 1911? Do most 1911 shooters change their grip to address this? I have no interest in riding the safety I just think it would be best if I was able to disengage the safety with a full firing grip.
