My son put slim grips on his Springfield Compact because of his small hands. I'm left handed so the slide release and the mag release are right there.

I did have trouble with my Springfield jamming. I sent it back to the factory and it loads anything now without a hiccup.
The reason we like 1911's is because of parts, the bells and whistles, it's in .45 and it's a single action. It fits our hands and take the slide release off and it becomes a modual design. I have two slides for my Para-Ordnance.

One more thing. The proper place to put the shooter's thumb is directly on the safety. There's no way a person can forget about to take the safety off.

You're correct on the thumb placement on top of the safety. That's where it's supposed to ride but when it's in my quick access safe it's their for my wife to use and she does not train with it so I leave it off for her.
