The grip on the P30 and HK45 is just awesome. All kinds of awesome. I could do without the finger grooves (just a personal preference) but other than that...UndeadInfidel wrote:Very nice. That makes my USP45t look outdated.
I really like how those new grips feel.
When I've shot USP 45's, I used them the same way. I couldn't get to the mag release with my thumb, so I'd use my trigger finger. It works well once you get used to the motion.RTF_Squared wrote:Can you use the mag release effectively with your thumb?

If your hand is big enough you can thumb it. I can and my hands are say medium size.PistolPete wrote:When I've shot USP 45's, I used them the same way.

I do similar. My motion is more like a pinch between my thumb and trigger finger to drop a magazine. I had to go pick up the pistol and double check because it's become second nature for me.PistolPete wrote:When I've shot USP 45's, I used them the same way.

Bad clarity on my end. If your hand is big enough with the HK45, yes you can thumb it. With the USP45 my thumb would have be the length of my index finger to thumb the mag release.UndeadInfidel wrote:LivelyToaster wrote:If your hand is big enough you can thumb it.

You can't be talking about a USP45... I wear size XL tactical gloves, and my thumb barely even brushes it if I do it from my normal shooting position.

These look similar to the HK45 release. I think I'll add it to my short list for future upgrades.
Those extended mag releases are nice. I bought one for my P2000SK and after installing it, immediately ordered another one for my USP Tac.UndeadInfidel wrote:LivelyToaster wrote:If your hand is big enough you can thumb it.

G34 is extended. Not as much as the G17L, but bigger and sticks out more. I'm partial to the Ghost tactical (Bullet, IIRC) or the Vickers myself. Extends enough to thumb it, but doesn't get caught on stuff.Rednex wrote:docdredd wrote:Added a G34 slide release to my 19. Loving it so far.

I just got a G19 , so how is the G34 slide release differ from the G19?
Sharp looking gun! The two tone looks really cool.LivelyToaster wrote: A week more than 48 hours old but my latest purchase anyhow.
Holy shit, I've not seen those before. I use my middle finger on my USPs. I just finished up a 4 day class and the middle finger on my right hand has a new pad on it from reloading and malfunction drills. I'm going to pick up a couple of these releases tonight!Maverick299 wrote: Those extended mag releases are nice.

I think your middle finger has the answer, grow a new pad. I'm growing a huge callus on my right thumb from sanding Kydex all the time, too bad it wasn't the other side or it would be extra handy for slide stops. I feel like less of a freak knowing everybody uses the USP mag release about the same.spanningtree wrote:Sharp looking gun!

My right thumb also has a raw spot from engaging the slide release repetitively during some of the drills. Anybody have thoughts on minimizing this?
Based on some trustworthy reporting, I'd give the Kimber a test rotation and a shot at displacing my 238 except for one thing. The trigger. The 238 has that 1911-esque trigger that makes it so damn easy to shoot well that I'll settle for stocking 380 to feed it.northernxposure wrote:Gah....
I held a Sig 938 and a Kimber Solo tonight in the funshop. That Kimber. That. Kimber.....
Trigger dry firing was a step over meh, but nothing to jump up and down about. But she was just so smooth.
I do like my friend's Sig 238, so there's nothing new on that front, so I have high hopes for the Sig. Just felt like a slightly more chubby version of the 238.
