Therealkoop Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 My new pistol is chewing me up. I want to add a thumb shield, but I can order either a version for STI or SV. Has anyone installed one of these on a PT frame? Which version did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatriotMRD Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I havnt seen them available anywhere. I did see some pics somewhere. I think you have to contact PT directly. They were shown on their Facebook page a while back but not on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stage 3 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I ordered one a few week ago, waiting on the next production run to finish. Call then and place your order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therealkoop Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Are the pt shielded safties ambi? Id really rather have a single sided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd7446 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Right now Phoenix Trinity is only doing ambi thumb safeties. I'll admit, I'm biased toward them. Another option is to check with Glenn Rasch of Lone Star Innovations. He's developing shielded thumb safeties in a variety of flavors (ambi, single-side, etc).

Therealkoop Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks todd. Trying to stay away from Ambis since Ill be shooting 3 gun and dumping the pistol. Already have seen enough DQ's from pistol safeties being disengaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd7446 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 If this is 3-gun specific, you may be real interested in a special safety that Glenn did for another 3-gun guy. Using his own safety (can't remember if it was single or ambi), he added a spring to it that always applied upward pressure. You had to maintain down pressure with your thumb to keep it disengaged. Seems as though this would pretty much eliminate the 3-gun dump bucket concern. Give Glenn a call at (713) 823-1676 and tell him Todd sent you.
