Stdz Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I was wondering how many people use the safety as a thumb rest on their shadow 2? I have the extended safety on and using it to clamp down on my grip is nice. I just hope I don't brake it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomorro Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I do. Fits me good but really messes me up when I shoot other guns lol. I mainly do it to make sure my safety is off when the timer starts Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stdz Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Yea that's what I was thinking. I've been shooting Limited minor as I start out and it just feels comfortable and always gets my safety off. I plan on moving to CO so no safety but I think I am going to still use it.

It's at the point that I want one for my double stack 1911 but cant find one that feels as good.Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stdz Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Im slightly worried about bending it from my grip being tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darqusoull13 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 You won't bend or break it. Actually after the s#!t I've done to mine I'd be personally impressed if you somehow managed that. Yes, I do use mine to clamp and I do feel it gives me an excellent reference point for my grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckin_Thumper Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 yup..... I have two thumbrest....Open Poors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vault13 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I use mine as a thumbrest, too. I’ve seen people accidentally flip up the safety during a course of fire and wonder why their gun wasn’t working for a few seconds. I shoot my 1911 the same way. I also find it leaves a little more room for my support hand to get good contact on the grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstone45 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Yep, and it messed me up when I had to shoot a club Glock competition (so Glocks only). On multiple instances ran the gun dry without realising because the slide didn't lock back (thumb was riding the slide release).

race1911 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) I find a MUCH better grip and control of the trigger finger WITHOUT the extended safety on S2.....with a Standard or Open div gun I can see the use for it, but Production and Carry Optics (or Prod Optics) it is not necessary and actually inhibits the best grip on the gun with full freeness of the trigger finger (I tried both thinking after many years of Open div shooting and then shooting Carry Optics/Prod Optics I would really like the extended safety....NO, MUCH BETTER WITH SLIM SAFETIES) Edited August 12, 2020 by race1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csexton Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Yep, it’s the way I run my shadow 2. Works really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stdz Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 Yea I might switch it back since I'm moving over to CO from limited minor. Won't be using the safety . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFIVE3 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Pretty much any pistol I have that has a mechanical thumb safety, I have become accustom to riding the safety. For me it's a natural spot to place the thumb once I draw the pistol. But I will say that the stock safety on the Shadow 2 is the perfect size.

rowdyb Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Nope. Put rami safety on my sp01 guns and the slim on my shadow 2 guns. Only guns where I can be cocked and locked do I like a sizable safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any pistol with a manual safety. Never had one and never will. The few times I've picked up someone else's 1911 I'd had to put it down because that flap of a safety feels completely wrong in my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMG Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I use a Cross Armory thumb grip on my Shadows one and two. The Czechmate already comes with one and can be installed even with a red dot mount using two extended screws available from CZ Customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
