Rich406 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) Got a chance to try this thumbrest out, and I have to say I like it. It’s huge and fugly though. Edited November 23, 2022 by Rich406 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Being a lefty, I've never had much opportunity to run a *thumb rest [generic]* on a pistol. Plus, I try to keep my match guns and work guns, pretty similar. I ran my brand spanking new Grayguns Lockwood Edition tonight at an IDPA match and I'm beginning to think I've wasted a lot of $$ on high end 1911s the last 10 years......

B585 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Didn’t Sailor run a similar one on his CO setup? In my simple view, if it works for you, go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddjob Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Who made it? What holster do you run with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m700 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Just needs a bright color. I like pedals, I run a thumb rest [generic] *thumb rest [generic]* on 2 of my sigs. Not sure how necessary it is for me on a comped 9 shooting sub minor. I like it more for repetition. my thumb rest on it nicely and helps me repeat hold. This one isn't the prettiest but if it feels good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve been making a similar thumbrest for awhile, but I didn’t mess with it before because there were no holsters that worked and were USPSA legal. However the new DAA Max holster fits with minimal trimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrvip27 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) Tevo's version is almost out. Further back and a different angle. It would be interesting to compare performance. Let us know how you like the man-o-war from Odin. Thumb rests are definitely personal preference if they work for you or not. But seems Odin is now calling out Tevo on Instagram for "copying" their design for the P320. Even though Tevo has been making thumbrests for years and Odin just started this year. To each their own. Drama... On a side note, I wouldn't be surprised if USPSA finally allows race holsters in all divisions soon enough.

Theirs also looks closer to the grip and an increased angle. I’m not sure I’d like that. The Odin is a bit cramped IMO, and the tevo has less room. I’ll have to check it out when released.

fireman1776 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I’m intrigued. The Tevo seems so far back. I’d be curious for someone to compare the two. Also wonder how much modification I’d have to do to my Gx holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked closer and it wouldn't work. Not willing to buy an entirely new holster and/or hanger to try it out. I need to remind myself that top level CO guys don't use 'em and Nils won with a Canik.... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL it doesn’t come close to fitting the GX or probably any other kydex holster. As to using thumbrest, I’d say that the vast majority of p320s I see at matches have some type of thumbrest installed. Now that there is one available for the shadow2, I’m sure you’ll see a lot more of those in the future as well. They do add something, how much is probably an individual thing.

I tried the Align Tactical one and I did notice a slight difference but I found myself having to tweak my grip too much to make it work. I was having to rotate my wrist a little further forward than was comfortable. But these new ones don't seem like that would be an issue. The Tevo might work with my holster since it sits further back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X5SigChris Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 So my Odin just came in and I honestly like the fell. Granted that’s in dry fire from no holster as mine doesn’t work. I just ordered a hell fighter holster that is supposed to work. I believe they are working with Odin as a “partner” thing. I could be wrong though. A buddy of mine said he got his RHT to work with a little dremel work and damn near taking the screws out. I couldn’t. with that being said, hopefully I’ll be able to give it a full try in three weeks. RHT did say they could do it but it would run about $250.

I know what you mean about wanting to keep match guns and work guns similar. I tried that… then fell down the rabbit hole and I can’t find the top again hahahah. That’s why I went with an sig to begin with. Now I have to practice with my competition rig and then finish with my carry so my thumb remember where to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I only do I because I went months practicing hard and never practiced with my carry platform. Then I grabbed it one night and felt completely lost holding it. It shocked me a lot and made me realize I wasn’t doing myself justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I won’t say it’s far from accurate or not but he did say it was being priced according to hours spent on the job. HF ran me $135 I believe which is comparable to many other quality holsters IMO.
