RAZZ Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I've never been able to use my trigger finger or social finger to hit the paddle. I gave up after a while and just stopped thinking about it, and my thumb just hits the paddle as though it were a button. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CZAmerican Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Hey everybody, I'm having a tough time with this new VP-9 paddle release. I'm waiting for the right sized pin punch I ordered to get the grip-slats changed, so I can experiment with the size that would help. Might not find a solution though, my hands are both wrecked from 50 years of abusing them in construction! Pistol came with Medium Slats. I'll try the small slats and see if I can reach the paddle with my thumb. Any advise would be appreciated! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Archer Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 You don’t really need a special punch for that pin, it’s not a super-tight fit, and it can be pressed out by hand with a 1/16” (catching the edge on one side) or 1/8th” punch. Many VP9 shooters end up intuitively using the index or the middle finger of the strong hand on the paddle- it’s faster and results in less grip change that trying to thumb it. You might consider trying this, by practicing with a safely configured pistol in a safe direction of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CZAmerican Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Thanks for the help, changed the grip slats all around, still not very comfortable. I'll probably move it along while it's brand new and un-fired. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doge Posted Tuesday at 08:29 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:29 PM I use my trigger finger for paddle mag releases. The USP extended mag release helps a lot too with a bigger surface area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
