stock Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I contacted Joel @ Aligns about a left-hand version of their thumb rest and he said there is enough interest that they will be developing one. They have several projects ahead of it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CClassForLife Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I would try one out if they had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already said they will not mass produce them but time will tell if it takes off. Fits the same holster they make for the GG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not changing the center axis of the grip because you can't move the magazine, trigger, and slide lever in relation to each other? It actually doesn't. My bad for adding that portion. I was trying to describe how small her hands are and that she can reach it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STELLARTONE Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Works with a rht with *thumb rest [generic]* holster. Shave a little of the holster with a Dremel and it works fine. Zero retention tho. Bag your gun before and after each stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

open17 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 FWIW, Just got a reply from RHT about a X5 holster using the Odin Armory thumbrest. From RHT Sales: "That thumbrest will start the holster at $300". Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the price is going to be? Guessing $150ish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X5SigChris Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I’d like to try one out to see how it feels. I don’t think I would put it on my CO gun personally but it never hurts trying out new things. Honestly, there are times that I want to take the thumb rest off my CO gun completely lol. Really screwed up my carry draw when I finally went and practiced that again but that’s my fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gotta test it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddjob Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) I use the Align slide stop. I like it for the "flat on table" starts so I don't pop the mag out. Fits my GX holster and helps me with the recoil control of the gun. I wish the "pad" was back towards the shooter about half way or more.

fireman1776 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I’m intrigued by version 2. I ended up getting rid of the align tactical thumbrest because of how far forward it sits. I found myself over reaching for it at times and breaking my grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X5SigChris Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I enjoy the align thing rest a lot actually. I just spent all my time dry firing with my comp gun that I neglected other key aspects of my training outside of competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
