I'll try to keep this short.
I have a Colt GM XSE. I like it a lot and can actually shoot it pretty well. :smile:
I was looking at the American Shooter web site for the Rob Leatham lessons on shooting better. On proper grip technique he states that the right thumb should be resting on the thumb safety.
My problem is that if I do that the gun will not fire because my palm cannot fully depress the grip safety. The beavertail/tang(?) prevents my grip from staying high enough to reach the thumb safety (short fingers & thumbs).
So, I'm thinking that I should replace the grip safety for one with a more upswept beavertail. I swear this Colt one points at the ground. And what about an extended/wider thumb safety? What would it cost to have this work done?
I would appreciate input on this. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dan
