motosapiens Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 next question to ask.... are there *any* elite shooters that use one? If not, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarBoom Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 I’m used to one on my open gun and the slide stop is just a little too small. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatJones Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 It won’t currently. I just ordered a RHT holster that is made to fit with a Nitro Fin. Remember it's 2 inches from the inside of the inner belt to the grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Does the slide stop function normally with an empty magazine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" but how is stippling on a flat surface the same as adding a shelf to put your thumb? i just want to be clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you can’t cut the frame into a shelf, but this slide stop is totally legal. Clear as mud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaboyjosh Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 ok so i can order a *thumb rest [generic]* for my x5 and still be legal in CO? ok lets give it a try... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it replaces an original part and does not bolt to the frame itself, then it would be legal. The concept here is "replacement part" as long as it fits in the box still...

Seems like an excellent device to help steer the sights off target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I hope I get it soon. When I do I’ll post it here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarBoom Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 WarBoom, did you get your holster yet? I would love to see it. Just received it today. It was shipped after exactly 28 days and arrived on the 31st day. The build quality is very nice. The retention is light but solid. It draws with very little resistance. It does sit 1/2in or more farther out so I’ll have to trim my spacers to comply with the 2in rule. My only complaint is the $20 upgrade for the Betsy Ross flag, while it does look good you can’t tell that it is the Betsy flag.

Gary Stevens Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 The rule is 2 1/8 if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarBoom Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 The rule is 2 1/8 if that helps.Yea I know. I try and stay on the safe side just in case. But it measures out to 2 3/8” now whereas it was 1 7/8” before. So I’ll just shortened my spacers by 1/2” and be fine.
