The Cross Armory Thumb Grip, designed to make everyone a better and more consistent shooter.
With pistol shooting evolving toward a “maximum surface contact” style, we wanted to develop a way to use our off hand in a more efficient way. The challenge was getting in this “full contact” position comfortably, without contacting the moving slide.
Professionals and Special Forces have used this style for years now, but without the help of aiming accessories. We wanted to put the power back in our hands, both of them.
Getting the off hand up to the barrel height and forward was the main goal. This position should aid accuracy and improve the user’s response to recoil. With better control of the recoil the target can be re-acquired more quickly.
The Thumb Grip by Cross Armory is designed to easily attach to a pistols lower rail. When the Thumb Grip is attached to a pistols rail, it gives the user a place to rest their off hands thumb, which naturally puts the user’s hands in the correct position while keeping clear of the slide.
The Thumb Grip also gives the user an additional place to apply forward pressure and grip strength, which subsequently improves accuracy, reduces recoil and increases stability.
The Thumb Grip is a simple solution, that can be easily added or removed from a pistol, to help train you or your loved ones to shoot like the pros!

I’ve had this CROSS thumb rest for a good 6 months on a few different pistols from a Walther P22,XDs Mod2 3.3″, and most recently the 365 AXG legion and I’m definitely a fan. Would give 5 stars but the bottom pic rail screw isn’t really “universal” to all pic rail slots as I had to grind it down to fit the XDs. Also added grip texture on thumb rest area for better pressure on the smooth metal. Overall a decent product.

The thumb rest is probably the best one on the market, but there are zero known holsters that are compatible. So… unless you are just using it to plink at the range, you can’t use it. This makes it unusable in any matches such as USPSA or Steel Challenge. Just a heads-up.
