[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Thumbs Forward Grip

For you guys who are using a thumbs forward grip, does your support hand thumb that rides parallel to the slide exert any pressure on the frame? I was curious if this thumb just lightly touches the frame, rests on the frame, or doesn't touch the frame at all.

When I shoot; that thumb doesn't touch the slide.

Touches, no pressure. I've known good shooters to use all three methods though.

Strong side thumb wore the bluing off my slide.

When shooting my G19 I have to be careful that my thumb doesnt push down on the slide stop.

For some reason I had slide in my mind and meant frame. I'll edit the thread.

Lightly touches.

I've never seen thumbs forward, be THAT far forward before. Looks like a great way to blow parts of your thumbs off when shooting a revolver.

My thumb ends a half inch from the end of the dust cover on a government model. On a PM9 my thumb extends past the muzzle. On a revolver I fold my thumbs down.

Some one did just that w/ a 460.

This not the grip to use for old fashioned wheel guns. This grip is for autos only and works rather well.

My supprt thumb rest lightly on the slide stop on my 1911, and the take down levers on my Sigs and M&Ps.

you want a neutral grip.

My thumbs are not pushing inward
