Installation of thumb rest for Shadow 2. Anyone?

[em44052]

Has anyone installed a thumb rest on you Shadow 2? I was shooting a buddy's TSO the other day, and really liked the thumb rest. I have already converted my S2 to SAO with CGW S2 kit and SAO flat trigger, so the trigger feels the same as the TSO, but I did like the thumb rest.

I shoot limited major with my TSO's and I now think a gun is naked when shooting without a thumb rest.  It feels weird.

You can get a slide stop thumb rest by Eemann tech here:  https://store.dot40.net/competition-arena/eemann-tech-4724/eemann-tech-slide-stop-with-thumb-rest-for-cz-shadow-2-black-2900709

Thanks Toby. I have looked at these, and I might be wrong; but it does not seem like a good idea to have a thumb rest on the slide stop. If someone has used them with no issue, I would like to hear about it.

My support hand’s thumb naturally rests on the frame in the middle of the “Made in the Czech Republic” rollmark.  I would have to adjust my grip to use a thumb rest mounted on the slide stop.

In looking at it I wonder if it will lock back prematurely?  On the flip side maybe it will prevent slide lock?  I haven't seen one in person so I cannot comment.

I personally don't run my slide stop on the TSO.  I use the included slide stop pins in place and my slide will not lock back on the TSO.  I put a small strip of grip tape to cover the hole where the slide stop nub inserts into the frame.  It is too cluttered to run the slide stop lever and I don't find any need.  In competition, if I ever run emtpy then I had too many misses or forgot a mag change.

I have an eemann tech slide stop on my shadow 2. I don't have a ton of rounds thru it yet but the function of the pistol is the same as stock. It does hold open on an empty mag.

How do you get a Eeman Tech slide release? They sell only to distributors don’t they? Can you get one here in the states?
Thanks

The only vender that I know of in the states is Dot40. They are located in Florida I believe. I ordered mine from them and it was a smooth transaction for me.

Thanks Feedsack I found it will give try. Do you like it? Thumb not to far forward or interfere with slide?
Thanks again

We do thumbrest, does require drilling and tapping.
Here is one a build we did for left hand shooter.

I do like it so far, it gives you a nice ledge to use and the gun still functions the exact same way as a stock gun. The placement of my thumb is in a fine spot for me but im sure its not ideal for everyone. The only way you could get it in the exact spot that you would want would be to drill and tap the frame like Stuart suggested in his response.

Thanks for reply I just ordered one . It will take adjusting too but will keep my weak hand thumb from rubbing Mag release.
Thanks

Ohmslaw, please let me know how you like the EEMANN TECH SLIDE STOP WITH THUMB REST FOR CZ SHADOW 2  when you get the chance to try it out. Very interested in this, but for $75, I would like your review first.
