Hurst Shifters is known for manufacturing high-quality shifters and putting them on musclecars since the 1960s. Their classic "pistol grips" have equipped several Oldsmobile cars, but were found on AMCs and Chryslers as well.
While resorting to build paddle shifters as well, Hurst hasn't forgot about its heritage and decided to bring the classic and famous "pistol grip" shifter into the 21st century.

Called Nitro Stick, the new "pistol grip" is machined from billet aluminum and comes with a trick built-in 12 volt momentary switch. It's designed to control either a Hurst Roll Control or a nitrous system and has a machined thumb-operated cover that protects the activation button.

The Nitro Stick "provides a positive grip for quick, sold shift action" and can be ordered in brushed aluminum and brushed black.
