Parts Manufacturers : Spec Tech

Spech-Tech is producing several gun parts, one of which is interesting for the visitors of this site. It is a thumb safety, whose pad is however located not on the top of the plate, but towards the bottom. This low mounted thumb safety, is made of 17-4 stainless steel, is ergonomically designed and eliminates slide drag on the thumb. Designed for the shooter with small hands, and the shooter who shoots with his/her thumb positioned below the safety, who can now shoot with the low thumb position, but with his thumb on the safety. Spec-Tech has send me such a safety for testing in the past. It comes "in the white", in the sense that it is very BIG in every direction, very ... (well, I cannot find another word) oversized. It is made intentionally like that, so that the user may trim it to slimmer proportions for concealed carry applications, or whatever other usage he wants. I've fit it to my pistol, and it works like any other thumb safety, allowing you to keep your thumb on it, even though you still use a low thumb grip. Unfortunatelly, I haven't found the time to trim it to the proportions I like, so I do not use it on my gun. I'll keep you posted on this.
