cvincent Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I hacked up a DAA adjustable, and love it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrohuck Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I took my DAA thumb rest off today... Still in the process of deciding if I like It or not... I have to be really careful not to "overdrive" the gun. It almost handles recoil too well, if I consciously use my thumb then it's way too much and my follow up shots dip low almost without fail.

fastphil Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I run a ghost holster, no interference issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastphil Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 It took me a while to learn how to use it, you can't put any pressure on it or your follow up shots will be low.I guess you use it more like a stop instead of a rest, if that makes sense.

TH3180 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 anyone using the nitro fin having to to any fitting, or lucky to just drop in ? Mine was a drop in. I did have a buddy put a detent in it so it stays down when shooting weak hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billdozer Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Both of mine took a little fitting. Just an fyi, I worked with blade-tech to get a wrs holster made for fldc 2011's thumb rests for 3 gun. I just modified my regular blade-tech holster to work with my limited gun.

jcc7x7 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Got my Nitro Fin Via a member here THANKS, it was not drilled , like brand new! It's fit every 1911 or 2011 I've slide it in to so far Really like the feel of messing with it in the house going to range tomorrow and will let you know about shooting it, believe it will be good I do shoot a GoGas on my open gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSGJohnV Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I just received my Nitro Fin and it dropped right in. Dry fired with it and loved it. Took it to a match and once again was the example of "test your stuff before you use it in a match". I had it on for one stage. It felt great, but it kept locking the slide back with rounds left in the magazine. Is that user error or do I need to fiddle with my dremel to modify it? I really want it to work. These are Dawson tuned mags, btw. I'm planning on doing more testing this weekend. Any thoughts? 6" FGW limited gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvinc78 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 http://www.brazoscustom.com/Home.htm Go to the tips and tricks page and then click on the slide lock info at the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSGJohnV Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Calvin, These are Dawson tuned mags with Grams followers that I have already modified to not lock the slide back. The slide was locking back with between 10 and 5 rounds remaining in them. I will test when I get home to see if they lock it back empty or full. Thanks for the link though. I've seen that before but know Brazos is a great resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdboytyler Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I've installed THESE on my race guns. Love the adjustability, not sure how I ever got along without thumbrests. 'Course, the main selection criteria was that DAA offers them in left-hand +1 on the DAA adjustable thumbrest. I installed the thumbrest to prevent my weak hand from accidentally bumping the mag release. Zero accidental releases after install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you try to lock the slide back on purpose, it is very easy to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Using the PT slide stop thumb rest on my Lim gun. Liking it more and more. Had to adjust my grip slightly. If I get to high on it with my thumb, I can actually rotate it enough to catch the slide when I fire and it locks up. As long as I don't do that, I'm liking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvincent Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) I hacked up a DAA adjustable, and love it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk How much more will that rest go over - in the horizontal position? ThanksThere is ~5mm more rearward movement in the bolt groove. Probably will go well under 45 degrees. You could even lengthen both slots to go more.
