Re: Drawing from holster disengages safety (??)

Personally, I've given my business to Comp-Tac for over six years. And that won't change.

I've carried a 1911 in an MTAC for over two years. That won't change, either.

A Kimber in an MTAC has been my primary carry for a couple of years, and I've not had that happen, either.

I'd think the opposite. Load a snap-cap in the chamber, flag the safety, and holster the pistol. Press the grip firmly into your body, and then try to flip the safety off. Odds are, it takes a lot of pressure to move it. Now hook your thumb on the inside of the grip to relieve pressure against your body, and try again. I'll bet the safety moves much more freely.

I'll not hazard a guess at what might be causing the safety to disengage, but if the pistol (and holster) is belted tight against your body, my bet is that--whatever it is--it's moving the ambi-safety from the outside (like maybe a seatbelt), not the leather shifting it from the inside. Just a guess.
