RedneckMechanicalEngineer Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Been shooting USPSA for a while now, and I have had my open gun for a year or so and am beginning to look into modifications now that I am more confident with the gun. TO the topic, short and precise, I am running a stock STI DVC Open with the C-more sight, I am a left handed shooter. What options are there for left handled thumb paddles? I would rather not drill into the frame. If it is necessary, I would like to send it off to someone. Ive heard rumblings of some gluing some on, just looking for info, and perhaps who to send it to if i HAVE to drill the frame, expected costs, links maybe, videos etc. Thanks in advance for the help.

echotango Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 https://www.doublealpha.biz/us/daa-adjustable-standard-thumb-rest or http://www.evil-hand.com/ Ipsc alex I think also makes one. You need to drill the frame to do it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk21 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Akai now makes a right side thumb assist it’s the best I have found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdh821 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 A very well known GM once told me “Don’t shoot any open guns made by a company that begins with A” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balakay Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Limcat, RHT, DAA all make one for lefties too (search thumb rest instead of “paddle”) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the rest,and the mag release , how did u set up the mag release on that side? I am using the right hand one mag release as stock from STI, and hitting it with my firing hand, very not fun, I did not know there was second option on these platforms. Also secondly, who did you have do the work and mount the thumb rest? Did u drill n screw that in yourself?

If that's the case then the mag catch is specific and proprietary to SVI. I just use my trigger finger and a left side mag release. Have used Mitchell right side mag releases in the past. They work, but you can't use extended mag buttons with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I also use a trigger-finger release. It's a tiny bit slower, but in the grand scheme of things, not enough to stop me making GM on classifiers that include reloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
