1911 help.

Guys, I had a really bad day at the range yesterday. We were doing an action shoot which was from the holster then five shots into five targets in as shorter time as possible. I kept accidently poping the magazine out because of the oversize mag release button, or pushing the safety on (upwards) with my usual two thumbs forward hold that I'd always done with my CZ75. One of the guys said to have my thumb on top of the safety but that sounds like a way to take a big chunk of flesh out of my hand with slide bite. What are your thoughts and what do you do? I'm planning on getting rid of the oversized mag release for a start.

How it was suggested I should hold it
