Thumb Rest for Self-Defense? - Tactical Development Pro Ledge

The holsters offered on the manufacturer’s website are solid holsters with a lot of options and colors

[@NightwoodGuns]

@@glassmw9823 Fair enough. I was speaking more to the people (including myself) who have already invested in expensive holsters (T1C, Trex, Tenicor, Phlster, QVO, LAS, TXC, etc.) who would have to get a new one to accommodate the ledge.

[@Minutes-Mils]

I threw one on my p365 macro, that in addition to a real porting job, made all the difference in the world for me, I honestly thought that the p365 just wasn't for me, way too snappy, hard to shoot quickly. But the ledge did so much, that it made p365 my new favorite carry piece. I even shoot it in competition from time to time 😂 TLDR: Great for small guns, meh for large guns. Great points in your video, 👌

[@Dansal1980]

As usual another well balanced and fair review. And you make a valid point-that a good holster is much more valuable to EDC than having the pro ledge and being forced to buy a specific off brand holster or modify ing the good one you already have.

[@NightwoodGuns]

Glad you enjoyed the review! 😎👍 I definitely agree!

[@AnonymousPersonAP]

That's not how it works. You realize new guns with completely new designs are made every year right? Guess what? They make hostlers for them. So if a thumb ledge is effective, hostlers will be made. It's either good or not. I feel like there is a huge gap to be filled in the pistol market pertaining to grip/handle. It's like people have just settled for it works, knowing how inferior the pistol grip is to rifles or anything you can truly get two hands on effectively. I think the thumb rest/ledge/gas pedal is the first step in to actually getting the secondary hand actually in the fight. It should and will be built into future pistols. I think this review would of gone better if he actually tried to use it instead of thinking his previous grip was as good as it gets. Its not like 4 eyes is Jerry Miculek, he can definitely learn some new things to get better. We all need additional skills.

[@theexpressionbooth]

With the Glocks you can create a ledge by cutting into the frame. The accelerator cuts are 100 percent worth it. The thumb ledge can save bad trigger pulls if your pushing in and down with your thumb.

[@NightwoodGuns]

I fully support ledges and accelerator cuts 👍 I enjoy having options.

[@davewebster5120]

I'd recommend the align tactical thumb rest for glocks. the gen 5 one fits in a 43x if you trim off the excess, too, and they're great. It does make it harder to disassemble the gun because you have to push it out enough to get the rest out of the takedown recess but how often do you really need to disassemble a glock?

[@rudyfigueroa2246]

This why I tell my younger bro now a days not to fight or get anything with anyone in the streets these days… if you see this nerdy dude around you would never in a million years know he is packing a decked out pistol and knows how to shoot. Everyone has a gun on then these days in this country, don’t underestimate anybody.

The sig shop has the takedown lever version, and notably on the instructions it says not to push directly down to counteract recoil, but to push towards the barrel with your thumb and counteract with your other fingers pushing on the grip, like pinching the gun

[@NightwoodGuns]

I’m sure they say that so the takedown lever doesn’t rotate while shooting 😅

Hey Brett, Just found your channel and want to say thanks for making such awesome videos. I can’t stand most gun channels these days because they are filled with tactical Tim’s. Yours is very insightful and down to earth. We also have similar taste and I am feeling a mutual love for Metal Gear (It can’t be!). I currently carry a Staccato CS but your videos of the XC make me regret selling mine so much. Also, greet videos for the T1C Axis and their EDC-S belt. You’re spot on. The Axis is hands down the best appendix holster you can buy and the EDC-S review was spot on. I put that belt on and wondered where it had been all my life. Thanks again for the great videos. Great channel and great information. Hope your popularity grows and grows.

[@NightwoodGuns]

Hey! I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the channel! 👍 Definitely sounds like we have similar taste! I try to make my channel (…just like one of my Japanese animes!) From Metal Gear to Staccatos to T1C, you know what’s up! 😎 The channel seems to be growing a lot this year, so I’m looking forward to what the future holds! If you ever want to b.s. about nerdy stuff or guns you can always hit me up on Insta DMs or Patreon (or just pop into the comments on my videos) It’s always nice finding someone with crossover interests 🤙

[@milesandmarian8035]

[@potatoespotatoes1358]

I've had the same pro ledge attachment on my 365 (XL/Macro, whatever you want to call it at this point lol) and I've found the exact same type of usefulness as you do, 0%. The bit in the video about over-driving with your support hand is something that I find myself doing now, too, but I can't tell if it's purely the ledge or not. The only difference in my experience with it on a Sig and you on the 48 is that the rail actually does rip skin off the base of my thumb. The Wilson Combat XL grip I have is likely smaller than your 48, but my thumb rests at the end up the ledge and the small bit towards the backend (nearest the grip) is what rubs my hand until I've gotten blisters because of it. Nice video, keep up the great work!

Anything that gives an advantage. I have an antimatter wing. It’s amazing. Fits any holster

[@NightwoodGuns]

What advantage does it give? Have you run drills on timers and compared to collect objective data? If not, there’s nothing wrong with running something because you like it or because it gives you more confidence. I just don’t see how this is a worthwhile objective advantage for every day carry to recommend across the board.

[@mccall9770]

you been using any aftermarket magazines with the 48?

[@mccall9770]

as well as what is your choice of holster with a compensator on one?

[@NightwoodGuns]

I use OEM mags. And I have used a Summit Holster El Capitan and a Tier 1 Concealed Axis Elite 👍 Both are great but I prefer the Tier 1. Just make sure to request an open bottom to allow a compensator.

[@DeusRegum]

I just thrown on a couple stirps of talon grip pros on the front dust cover and call it a day. Same function, but can still use holster. Don't use WML since my 43X/48 is non-MOS.

Good review. I have watched a few reviews of the Pro Ledge, however, all have failed to mention the material it is made of, including the Tactical Development web site.

[@weduhpeople8504]

I just don’t install a wml and place my offhand fore finger on the front of my trigger guard to mitigate muzzle rise in a forward thumbs grip while locking my wrists. It’s actually really effective keeping the gun flat while shooting strings and faster getting back on target after each shot. The Euro team CZ competitive shooters use this technique.

[@NightwoodGuns]

Nothing wrong with that 😎👍 Many talented shooters grip their guns that way to great effect!

[@clplusp8762]

An off topic question for NG (and anyone willing to chime in)… what are your thoughts on the Sig P238? I remember you had issues with a 938 long ago. For 380 carry I alternate between a Kahr P380 and a Ruger LCP version 1.5 but I now want an all metal pocket/IWB carry 380 but am hesitant from reading about the varied issues people have experienced.

[@NightwoodGuns]

I had a P238 Equinox before my KZbin days that never functioned properly despite being sent in to Sig twice. That was also probably in 2013, though. So unless things have changed, I don’t recommend it. The only .380s I have are two Prescott, AZ made LCPs that run reliably. I’ve only had bad experiences with the newer Mayodan, NC LCPs. Unfortunately for an all steel pocket .380 the P238 is the only game in town so you might have to roll the dice on it. Unless you can find a used Rohrbaugh R380 in good condition. It seems most modern .380s are bigger, plastic guns (Shield EZ, P365 380, etc)

I can do the dicken drill with a P365 in 5 seconds, and only with this ledge. I designed a version that works with any holster and I can now do the dicken drill in 4.5 seconds with that, although it is an XL grip. I think that you would have a different experience with it on a P365, and if you slightly altered your grip forward. I grip it almost like a carbine, with my offhand index finger wrapping around the light and I am squeezing/torquing that hand.

[@NightwoodGuns]

I bet you could do the Dicken drill in the same time without it.

[@BenfromFlux]

@@NightwoodGuns I can’t. I have learned to shoot well enough with a traditional modern grip, but my performance is not as good. You are almost assuredly a better shooter than me - what is your dicken drill time? I have never seen anyone do faster than 5 seconds, and I am doing it with a P365 - only because of the ledge.

[@meflower]

Glad I came across your comment. After getting a P365, ledge, and TLR-7 sub, I also found myself changing from a traditional grip to the carbine-like grip you described, with support hand more forward and index finger wrapped around the underside of the light. My support thumb still slips off the ledge after each shot though. Did you ever experience this issue early on?

[@BenfromFlux]

@@meflowerI dremelled mine to have more of a ledge - I didn’t have any slippage after that. That said, I did design the Antimatter Wing, which is so large that you can’t slip off it at all. That and it works in standard holsters, because it disappears automatically when holstering it.

[@12_nine9]

Hey Brett, I’d like to see a comparison of Glock 19 and Glock 45 and their roles. I’m still debating on one of the two.

[@zainanderson2583]

I went with the 45 and prefer it because it can flex into a duty role as well as concealed. The 19 isn’t remarkably easier to conceal imo. If it is for edc I would recommend something around the shield plus size. I aiwb the 45 everyday with a tlr1 and I definitely have to have specific t shirts that let me conceal it.

[@NightwoodGuns]

Thanks for the video suggestion! I might just do that. If you are between the G19 and the G45 it will boil down to your body size/type and your intent with the pistol. If it’s concealed carry: it depends on whether or not your body type/wardrobe/carry position can hide the G45 grip length. Other than that, the grip selection is personal preference. People with bigger hands typically prefer the G45. But I might do a full video on the subject 👍

Respectfully, not agreed! this is not a luxury or cool-factor upgrade, in fact it's a major improvement for many pistols/Users. Please be wise about some of the pointless hateful comments here. Also don't rush to buy it. you have to research and understand the purpose and usage of it first. This is not a user independent part like compensators. This highly depends to the user ergonomics; meaning no body can decide it for you. Understand and keep in mind these factors: your hand size, skin condition in stress (sweaty, greasy, ...), pistol size, location and angle of the thumb-rest, even the usage (EDC, Tactical, competition) etc. Then you can find the proper thumb rest and practice with it if it applicable for you/pistol.

@@NightwoodGuns great deflection. Still didn’t answer the allegations. I apologize that I’m from a generation that is willing to modify to get the most out of a product instead of throwing it away. Sincerely, completely sober.

@@mikejmardis I honestly didn’t know how to respond, I wasn’t sure what you were trying to say 😂 If you can’t shoot well without the thumb ledge I don’t know what to tell you. I was raised by a generation that taught me “it’s the Indian, not the arrow” No need to modify a holster when it doesn’t have an objective increase on performance 🤷‍♂️

Handguns are made to be shot with one hand. There is also nothing wrong with muzzle rise, accuracy is final and the trick is to get back on target, not stay on target. Handguns do this on their own when the slide cycles. With practice and proper tuning, a semi auto will be back on target as soon as the slide finishes cycling no matter how much muzzle rise there is.

Nothing you said is incorrect. Adding things like comps/ports can make things a little easier, but the thumb ledge is a stretch for me.

@@NightwoodGuns I think it's a great idea but should be kept on a race/competition gun, not a SD. Not that it can't be used for SD, but chances are it won't be and only creates a snag point. Training with it will take away from training one handed which is highly likely for a SD situation to turn out as well as having to fire from an improper stance or from retention. I also only practice 1 handed draws by using my thumb to lift my shirt. If I do have 2 hands available to draw it will be easy enough to do so without training for it.
