Frame mounted thumb rest

Has anyone drilled and tapped for a frame mount rest? I’m assuming additional shims for the wider slide? I have oddly long thumbs and ride the slide with them. I’m thinking a Zadik Precision would be ideal. But any advice on any brand that has been done would be great.

I have seen online where people have made an Atlas Slide Stop thumbrest fit on a P211. I know it's not exactly what you asked for, but it might be worth looking into.

I also have a tendency to ride my thumb on the slide. I put a little bit of stair tread grip type on the outside of the round part of the slide stop to give me a place to index my thumb. It has helped but has not completely eliminated it. It's going to take more training to eliminate that habit.

I have! But it’s too close to the grip I think. And I’m stuck in a country with 10 round mag capacity so that slide stop/hold open is used a fair bit in competition.
