I use the crossed thumbs on a revolver, but for a semi-auto, I prefer thumbs forward, as mentioned. With more more skin on the grip, I have more control of the gun.

i naturally grip mine with crossed thumbs, but much lower then in your picture.
right thumb goes about where the mag release is, left one above..

guess i have smaller hands ...

Thumbs forward, hands as high up on the grip as I can go.

Thumbs forward, and usually a modified weaver stance

Thumbs crossed, left thumb riding safety (southpaw shooter). Tried thumbs forward, hate it

This i the grip that I use..Thumbs forward with the weak hand facing down.

Funny, but when I'm shooting right handed, it's thumbs forward. Left handed, it's thumbs crossed.

Go figure. But it works for me.
