Safety first, trigger second. I am a 1911 guy, practiced many hundreds of thousands of draws over the years. Thumb safety is just part of my draw, does not slow anything down. Same with my 870 pump, safety is on while looking for a target, clicked off on the way to my shoulder. Just my preferences of what I have practiced and fits me. Yep, I would have a problem drawing with other firearms that have the safeties the opposite direction or in a different place for example. I have some firearms I target shoot that have different safeties but I do not switch them up my everyday draw/carry with odd configurations.
That is why their are so many variations of firearms on the market, each of us has our own way we practice with the firearm of our choice. To me, that is the key, practice with what you carry or hunt with. Again, practice, practice, practice.
