I got the extended paddles. Install was super easy. It's nice to have that little extra area for your finger to get ahold of! However, I need to pull my finger off and out to get around the extended paddle, then back in to the trigger guard to get on the trigger. I think if the extended paddles were on the bottom, you would have a faster, cleaner transition to the trigger. Or maybe offer a high side paddle for the thumb and low side paddle for the trigger finger, depending on right handed or left handed shooters. Extra options would be awesome, and I would definitely order again!
