HK VP9® Thumb Rest Takedown Lever
Introducing the THUMB REST Takedown Lever
- Master Recoil: Integrates an ergonomic ledge for the support hand's thumb to firmly lock down against, serving as a brake against muzzle flip to provide the fastest follow-up sight picture. Increased surface contact with the pistol reduces support hand slippage while providing an index point for a consistent high thumbs-forward grip. Swaps in seconds to offer maximum control and speed in Heckler & Koch® VP9® pistols for a competitive edge.
- Secure Design: Complementing the VP9® compatible takedown lever is a thumb rest that extends 30 degrees forward of the center of rotation, directing applied pressure (counter clockwise) towards the over-travel stop to rigidly remain locked in place. When used in the opposite direction (clockwise) for disassembly, rotation is easy with a simple pinch and turn of the ledge.
- Ergonomics: Establishing a two-handed grip creates a naturally angled cant of one’s support hand thumb. Incorporating a secondary receiving slope of 15 degrees allows for evenly distributed thumb pressure and serves as a guide for settling into proper contact position (with the thumb print pressed flat onto the rest).
- Balanced Approach: Protrudes less than 0.4 inches (10mm) from the grip module for a comfortably slim footprint that creates approximately half a thumb's width of effective resistance area. Horizontal serrations offer excellent traction against recoiling muzzle rise without being abrasive. Perfectly sized with aesthetics to match.
- USPSA® Production Approved: “Are you ready?” for clearing stages faster than ever with your HK VP9®? Upgrade to the ultimate performance components for USPSA® production class and above.
- Rise to the Top: Starting stages with a tabled pistol can make it challenging to get a grip, so Align Tactical® has given you a hand. Unloaded (without magazine), the ledge wedges a lightened pistol grip into the air for unobstructed grabbing, leaving the competition grounded. Inserting a loaded magazine drops the grip back down and shields OEM extended magazine release buttons from being pressed by raising them off the table.
- Hardened S7 Tool Steel: Align Tactical® selected the toughest shock-resistant steel and then hardened it for maximum strength and durability.
