Thumb Rest for 1911

[The_Vigilante]

Is a thumb rest on a 1911 legal in IDPA? Thanks

What type of thumb rest are you talking about? The thumb safety should be your thumb rest.

Are you talking about an old school thumb rest built up on the grip, or an IPSC g a s p e d a l for your weak hand thumb?

Will the lid on the IDPA box close with this thumb rest of yours on the pistol?

The aforementioned g a s p e d a l would not be legal as it is not an approved modification which is a finite list.

Sorry for not being more specific-this would the the IPSC pedal for my weak hand thumb. So I guess I won't be using it in CDP-thanks

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but it is on topic for my question.

 

With the 2017.3 rules update, i wanted to see if there was any one that was using a "thumb rest" / Gas Peddle in ESP based on the 8.2.2.2 ESP Permitted Features and Modifications (Inclusive list): BB. Swenson style thumb shields and frame mounted thumb shields.

 

Also, as I prepare to build my gun and thinking, there is :Z. Slide checkering, serrating, engraving, and other machining.

Does that include lightening cuts, as this may bring the Shadow 2 down to weight with a few other thoughtful enhancements.

I'm pretty sure that is in reference to a shield by your thumb safety to keep your strong hand thumb from touching the slide.
