Racer377 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 As I look at pics of the SAO X5s, it looks as if there no good way for a righty to avoid riding the slide stop with the strong hand thumb. Sadly, I don't have one of these fine pistols locally to fondle for myself. Is the thumb riding the slide stop an issue? Does it require modifying one's grip?

staudacher Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Well, I guess it depends. It didn't require any modifications of my grip. I shoot the standard thumbs forward grip but my strong hand thumb rides on the outside of my support hand thumb. I did replace my slide stop lever with a stock P226 one eventually but it was more of a preference than a necessity.

gordonm1 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 my strong hand thumb stays on top the safety lever and the tip of thumb is over the slide release. never much problems except hitting the target when i am excited like everytime the buzzer goes off. my factory trigger is to die for imho.
