It's just a hair of a change but enough to make it happen.

Sorry I got the two terms mixed up. On isoceles, I use the "straight thumb" grip:
This allows me to clear the slide catch better because the weak thumb is off the catch completely. On bladed stance I go thumb over thumb to compensate for the bended elbow.
There is a trick that I use wherein I use the curvature of the thumb over the slide catch to allow if full clearance. But then again, this is only for my preference.
In general though, I prefer the straight thumb method as it allows me better control.
