I am no expert however I do have a franken1911stein

Grip with your right hand (I am assuming you are right handed/eyed) as you would a revolver. The right hand just appears too high in the grip to my untrained eye. You want to ensure the back safety is depressed when you hold the grip. Make sure your right index finger, if that is the one you use to pull the trigger, is confortably situated. Get with a range master if not sure. You want the right finger to be able to gently sqeeze the trigger not pull your spoon out of alignment.

Have you tried shooting with your left hand holding the bottom of the grip and pulling back on your right hand to hold it in position, steady, and with some tension back toward your body? Control of breathing is very important.

In both photos your left hand worries me. You will be dragging the rounds to the left and I do not understand how the left hand is helping to steady your aim.

I can easily see how either grip above will release the clip. This issue appears to be more your grip than the release.

Any of the safeties should be easily engaged with your shooting hand when positioned correctly. I shoot from a lower position on the grip and the slide safety is easy to reach with my thumb. I have small/medium size hands.
