Should I change the way I grip my pistol?

Changed from Weaver to isosceles last year, and changed my grip when I did that. I'm shooting really well, and the way I hold it feels very natural to me.
Problem is that my thumb is touching the slide release and stops it from locking back when the the mag is empty. Doesn't happen every single time, but around 90% of the time. Obviously this is a problem.
Should I try changing it or just leave it alone since I will probably revert to my natural grip if SHTF? My gun is 15+1, but there is always a chance I'll need to reload and that split second might mean something

I'm in the same boat but I am constantly trying to place my thumb over my other thumb

Tactical reload - shoot 15, drop mag with one still in the barrel, insert new mag. You just have to learn to count your shots.

There's a Kyle defoor video that discusses placement of the strong thumb to prevent it from riding the slide stop. I'll see if I can find it.

Can we start a slide release vs slide stop fight on the OB like the clips vs magazines threads?
we need more OT drama around here...
Just screwing with you man...
