We provide shims which makes it easy to adjust it between rounds.

The Harrington switch (yes it is named after our buddy Jim Harrington who was the first to use it!), has between .025 and .030 worth of delay. That switch is priced less than the terminator and is a very good value for a guy who needs a minimal amount of delay.

Comparing the 2 switches, most people seem to like the terminator switch because of how easy it is to depress. It is softer and smoother.

Tony, I guess it all depends on how much range of travel/ delay you are looking for, along with which switch is more comfortable to you and your driving style. As far as mounting it to the wheel, the dash, or near the shifter- that all depends on where you are most comfortable. I prefer to have the terminator mounted further away from my body than I would a conventional short throw button because of the amount of travel it has.

Hope this helps,

Nice writeup Peter. You can't get any better answer than from the horses mouth (and the champ!)
