Hello,
I'm wondering, for those of you who prefer beavertail grip safeties, do you like speed bumps?
From my personal experience, I do not. It seems that the raised pad concentrates most of the recoil onto on portion of my hand. It's not painful, but for me, it's distracting.
I replaced it with a standard (non-speed bump) Ed Brown beavertail a long while back when I was still figuring out what I like.
It's much better, though I don't think I'd mind a gradually raised section, ala Kimber, or perhaps a slightly more abrupt raised section like McCormick.
I see most beavertails these days, especially on factory built guns, coming with the speed bump.
My question is, is this something that's largely preferred by the consumer, or is it something that evolved from gaming and carried over to custom factory guns?
Thanks,
