Skydiver Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 My... what a big button you have... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcmanis Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Im thinking about cutting it down to a slightly reasonable size.. maybe. I took the grinder to a nickel.. then some sand paper.. got it as flat as I could and started a polishing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezco Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 You have no excuse for missing the mag release, that is for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupture Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 You must have some really short thumbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skydiver Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 How did you attach the nickel to the mag release? (I've got short thumbs, too. I keep on having to shift my grip to do a reload, and I get to do it a lot playing in L10. The Henning aluminium grips helped so that I don't have to shift my grip quite as much.)

jmcmanis Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 I've got big thumbs.. but not big enough.. I used JB Weld on it. I'm getting ready to preorder a couple of Hennings new ones.. just thought I'd play around with one I had laying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff686 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 How's the JB Weld holding up? I was thinking about getting one of these. My thought is I would heat up the factory magazine release button, then melt-fit the plastic button into the checkering (to increase the mating surface). A little JB Weld or similar epoxy would hold it in place. However, due to the nature of a short thumb, a lot of torque will be placed on the button. The JB Weld will be under a lot of stress.
