Kimbertarget Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 A bit of an old thread, but just in case someone hasn't seen them.... If you don't want to drill your frame but want to slap a *thumb rest [generic]* on her..... Shay's got a new lil' gadget.... can't wait to try mine out this weekend!! SHAYS? Is it integral to a special left side grip that *thumb rest [generic]*? Can you post a link where it can be purchased please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbertarget Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Thank you for the link: http://www.shootingsportsinnovations.com/NITRO-FIN-2011-STI-SV-Slide-Lock-Thumb-Rest-NF17-4.htm However i also wanted to find the old school style THUMB SLIDE GUARD without having to replace plunger tube style for my Strong hand thumb as well Here is one on my old COLTOFFICER 1911 Or i do like the idea of the SWENSON thumb slide guard integral to the thumbsafety. I layer my thumbs on my GLOCK while competing but cannot use that same grip on my 1911 so i use a thumbs up outrigger style grip and i think the swenson thumb safety with slide guard is a great idea but it only comes in AMBI. Does anyone know a LINK where i can buy the old style THUMB SLIDE GUARD or a thumb safety like this that is not AMBI? Here is what im looking for if i cannot find the old style that i sold with my Officer, i think this is a great idea because under stress from a draw i have found i sometimes when shooting prone i touch my strong hand thumb to slide by accident.since it is integral to the thumb safety i wonder how it would affect modifications for steel challenge,USPSA and IDPA? http://www.powerfactorshooting.com/Sweenson_Ambi_Safety_p/sweenson-ambi-safety.htm Edited December 17, 2013 by Kimbertarget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the crappy pic. Is there a little bit of space on the bottom side? It seems like the picture with the executive fits much cleaner. The frame you see that has a gap is a newer frame with a relief cut for a slide stop.It does look cleaner with the older frame. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcraig Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Interesting, didn't notice the little gap on my Edge until you mentioned it, I actually had to get the gun out and look at it. lol My Edge is about 2yrs old, however, I also bought the frame for my full custom build about a month or two prior to buying the Edge. The "gap" is far less noticeable on my GH2 custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cudaman Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 You can imagine how much tail chasing fun I could have if I matched all those different sized frames. Thank god that location is the only area that has changed throughout the years. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbertarget Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I finally found a grandmaster who had one and i put it on my custom Colt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FF112173 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Just ordered my second "NitroFin" Cudaman. Loved the thumb position so much on my 2011 limited steel gun I decided to put one on my open rimfire 1911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecil Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Just got a Nitro fin for my STI Edge.. I had to do a little fitting to make the slide go forward 100%.. I took a black marks-a-lot and blackened the pin .. took out the spring ... and worked the slide forward to see where it was rubbing.. a small amount of filing on the very top on the pin was all that was necessary.. I really like the Nitro fin.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbertarget Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I just like to run a thumb slide guard but was considering that gas-pedal slide catch one piece part..pretty trick. THUMB SLIDE GUARD OL'school - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rack&roll Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Is this the same one? http://www.shootingsportsinnovations.com/NITRO-FIN-2011-STI-SV-Slide-Lock-Thumb-Rest-NF17-4.htm http://www.shootingsportsinnovations.com/images/1380206451036811391467.jpeg Thanks for the tip!

rack&roll Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Just got my Nitro Fin and it dropped right into my STI Edge with no fitting necessary. I shot it today for the first time and I love it! It's a noticeable improvment in recoil control and stability, IMO. I'm impressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) I want to see some pictures with this thing on your guns and your hands in a firing grip. It seems like it's in the wrong spot to me. Edited January 30, 2014 by waktasz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troupe Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I really like the idea of a thumbrest but my problem is that I have fairly large hands and my thumb rides very far forward on the dust cover. The simplicity of the slidestop as a rest is the best idea but it is to far to the rear for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmine Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'll be taking possesion of my SVI very soon......and guess what Brandon put a thumb rest on it ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jjipsc Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I installed my Nitro Fin in one of my SV's and now my mags won't drop out freely. Talked to Brandon and he has no idea why. I've done the obvious things but something is wrong. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrClean Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hmmm.... if you are talking about after last round fired situation, mine does not lock the slide back on last round. Don't think it's designed to do that. Therefore after my last round, the slide is pushing on the rear of the follower, holding the slide back and thus not allowing it to drop free. Is this what you are talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jjipsc Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hey Clean. Thanks for responding. No that is not correct. I noticed that the end that sticks out into the mag area did not stick out far enough to catch the SV follower. I just finished welding it up and refitting it. Works like a champ now. Thanks!!
