“I liked it except the back of the slide caught my thumb knuckle when firing so I gave it back.”

Your thumb should not be anywhere near the back of the slide when shooting ANY automatic. Seriously. My b-n-l forgot this and a slide laid his thumb open to the bone. ANY semi auto can mess you up if you have your thumb over the back of your other hand. Never ever ever do that.

My thumb wasn’t “over” the slide. It wrapped around the left side of the grip as normal. Kinda hard to explain but the knuckle I am referring to is the one closest to the wrist where the thumb meets the hand(slide would skin it on top). Got small hands (among other things) and I attribute it to that. Don’t have that problem with any other semi I’ve ever fired, and I’ve fired my share of others........ Hope that made sense.
