I say Safe, did not maintain control of the ball. Umpire rings up the runner... Not sure if he didn't want to reverse his call after making the out call then seeing the glove on the ground or he was going off of some other type of judgement/ruling.

Well, we haven't seen this one in a while.
If the catcher lost the glove on contact with the runner, assuming no other issues and R1 touches the plate, the call should probably be safe.
If the catcher lost the glove after a tag and the umpire judges that the player had possession of the ball after the tag was made and then lost the glove, the call should probably be out.
