BAD A.S.S 45* ST Ambi Safety
I posted this here before the crash. I only post it again because I think this safety is really revolutionary. Faster on target, easier to get back on safe, and ambidextrous. All while being mad eby a company who truly supports its customers.
Because a milspec lower will have "Safe" and "Fire" at 90*, the 45* safety will not point to fire when disengaged. Due to this, the safety will be shipped with a small pin to prevent it from being used in normal lowers as a liability reason. This pin is easily filed off with a hand file from a Gerber in a matter of minutes, maybe even seconds with a determined individual. After removing the pin (its made of a VERY soft metal and will go away easily, have no fear), the safety can be installed by removing your pistol grip, spring, detent, and original safety. Then place your 45* safety into your lower, screw your ambi throw lever into the opposite side, and then reinstall your components (simple stuff folks).

The throw levers of your safety can be changed out with different offerings from BAD, including standard, thin, short, short+thin, hybrid, or a simple endcap to remove ambi features. BAD recommends two short lever, and I agree with them. I am currently sporting a standard and a short, but I just ordered a second BAD-ASS 45* with a Short and short+thin because I like this thing so much.

The 45* engages with a solid click and offers extremely smooth operation. To switch it on and off, the only movement required is a simple flick of the thumb, rather than moving your hand with the original 90*. I'll never be able to go back to the normal setup again as this things is just genius.
