I kinda liked the term inspired by MikeinNC's comment: Douche Pedal™

Sadly his Internet trail of stupid is long and winding.


FWIW… when I bought a generic thumb rest to try on my Limited gun as mentioned early on in this thread, I made sure to avoid said company because of seeing this nonsense in the past. Some people are their own worst enemy.

Yes, so I am told.

A perfectly appropriate and earned CUT.

He is the embodiment of the saying, "If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.”

He should probably put a band-aid on that and have a tall glass of kool aid, maybe play some frisbee, or ride a jet-ski.

Maybe pop some bubble wrap, who knows. Get some chapstick for that chapped ass..

All this idiotic "hater" nonsense. Utterly juvenile.

The opposite of love is not hate. The opposite of love is indifference. I don't give a tinker's dam about this guy's silly little gadget, wasn't even aware of their existence before all of this.

My concern is about this guy's behavior in this forum. He bumps a months-old thread without telling us his identity, ignores my urging him to identify himself, yammers on about trademarks and haters and the Chinese without ackowledging the points I made.

It's just not the way to behave in this forum, and as I said earlier in this thread, I suspect that this guy is more than old enough to know how to behave, and to know the shit he was pulling was disingenuous and deceitful. I suppose he can serve as an example to other as to how to not act.

Some people are just awkward online, perhaps not enough time in places such as this in order to become comfortable.

Maybe not...
His juvenile behavior reminds me of some kid working in Daddy's office, with just enough decision making ability, and not enough experience to get his lil ass in trouble.

"I reached out to the company"...
What did you do, yell down the hall to dad?

The behavior HE has shown in this thread, and now knowing the fact that HE represents the company, yeah, I'll NEVER buy his product, EVER. I'll recommend to my friends that they DONT BUY a stupid thing that sticks out from the side of my gun with whatever "TM" this kid has.
I don't know, maybe collectively a hundred or so people.
SWAT, Law Enforcement (local, state and federal), I still have some contacts and friends & family over on the Military side, instructors and competition shooters of all different disciplines.

Rule #1- Don't be a dick unless you have to be a dick...
There was zero reason to be disingenuous. "Hey guys, I'm So-n-so of "Douche Pedal", my Dads company, what questions do you have?
Not hard at all.
Maybe even that way, by admitting that you're part of the company, letting us know what his product can do for us, help us shoot better.... He might be able to open up another solid venue for business. Instead, he did a Google search for "Douche Pedal for guns", and clicking on what comes up, thinking this is the New American Way; see how many "likes" he can get on some social media platform.
But he chose (knowingly or unknowingly) the tougher path.
He lost my business, probably a lot of my friends, and more than likely A LOT of people on S/F.

Oh well.... Hope daddy don't find out.

Now I gotta hop in my Jeep and hit the Gas Pedal to get over to my Mom's house and cut some grass. Oh, there's a Gas Pedal on the mower too...

This guy is no kid, believe me.

I'm just gonna leave this here. Comments are... illustrative.

If one were to perhaps click on the "GoGunUsa" profile in the comment, it brings up his... I mean, their channel. It's loaded with videos of the same guy over and over. He's no kid.

They also make the DouchePedal®™ For Rifles®™, to be used in conjunction with a VFG or handstop, but, uh... C-Clamp literally exists and that's Free®™.

Damn sure ain’t acting like an adult

Yeah, no “Douche Pedal” for me, and just showed this thread to a husband and wife team who are LE instructors and Concealed Carry instructors as well… they both said a big ole NOPE for the company.

Oh well…

No cake?
No ALL CAPS?
No >>><<<?

This flame out was lame. 2 out of 5 stars. Would not recommend.

Master Recoil
The Align Tactical® THUMB REST TRIGGER PIN 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 Glock® and select Glock-compatible pistols for a competitive edge.

You're welcome.

That looks painful. Your thumb wont slip with that pin driven through it!

"Competitive edge" Perhaps, but, to me, these gadgets are an answer in search of a question. I just can't see myself ever using such a thing.

For EDC carry, nay, maybe for a range/race gun. Tricked out a Glock one time, extended slide release,mag release, a few other goodies, kept it that way for a week, then it went back to stock. Found out that all the extras were just in the way.

I noticed the same thing. Both my 320's have a low profile 'gas pedal'. I was shooting last night and was having issues with the gun not locking back on the last round. This is highly unusual as I've had one malfunction out of both my 320's in several thousand rounds. Turns out thAT I have to rotate my support hand forward to use the pedal. That was allowing my firing hand thumb to rest on the slide stop. Now that I know, I've modified my grip to not do that.

Take them, or leave them, but using one of these may require a little modification to your grip to be fully effective.

For everyone else, it'd just be introducing another route for undesired grip input, which is a major factor in accuracy issues with many shooters.

I realized years ago that 'our' gun culture here on the internet is much like the hot rod car culture and others like them.... a zillion aftermarket items to help improve the original product... some of them actually practical and useful and a good many just something to waste money on. I've got way too large a collection of the latter.

I shoot steel out in the desert, and the gas pedals get very hot at the end of the competition, to the point I’m pretty sure I got a first degree burn on my thumb.

Makes it easier to take down the 320, though.

Trick of the week.
