ngodwetrust21 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) I figured I would do a quick post now that the cat is out of the bag on this thing. I was fortunate to be able to be a part of this from start to finish and I think you all will really enjoy it. I am able to shoot much quicker and more accurately with it than without. Design will be USPSA CO and Production legal as this is just an aftermarket locking block pin replacement. Just to give you an idea what sort of recoil you can expect from the addition of the thumb rest. Makes it feel like shooting an open gun. Recoil feels much softer and the dot doesn’t even feel like it ever leaves the window. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpWl-SHDyTd/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Edited March 4, 2023 by ngodwetrust21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B_RAD Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 So this is not to critique the product. I’ve just always wondered why these are pretty common on open guns but very few people at a high level run these on Prod/CO. At least that I’ve seen.

Christian Sailor seems to like them both in open and on the Shadow 2 he runs in CO. I really think like most things, it just comes down to personal preference. You should pick one of these up, Jason. I’d be curious what you think of it on the Rival. Edited March 6, 2023 by ngodwetrust21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t run my thumbs forward enough to really touch it. I do like that these will prevent you from dumping the mag on table starts. That alone might be worth it if a guy has that problem.

ngodwetrust21 Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 Looks like I owe you all an apology. Please see the update below from Align Tactical. “Locks internally in place and is USPSA Limited, Limited 10, Limited Optics, and Open approved Only (UPDATED - NOT for Production or CO division use)." Let the “I told you so” commence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJM Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 What is the problem for CO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can replace a pin with a pin, but not with an attachment. We have had the same question with Glock handguns and the answer is the same, because there are no takedown levers or slide locks that are directly replaceable.” Apparently even though 21.6 specifically says it covers pins, it doesn’t cover pins.

WxGuy Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 It's still a nice piece if you just like to plink at the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
