How do you like the extended safety on the hi-power? How would you compare it to a 1911 or M&P?

I guess I'd relate Sokol's safety to the M&P 1.0 safety in terms of shape. It looks okay. Comes off pretty well but it is pretty hard to click back on. It can be done but it probably isn't going to get popped on on accident.

Novak has an extended safety I like pretty well. C&S has one too that has a lower shelf than the one we're used to from them. I haven't used the low shelf C&S but I like the look of it.

Karl Sokol 3” S&W Model 66:

I have a Model 60 that Karl is working on that is going to be a snub version of this—chopped hammer, trigger job with polished trigger, heavy bead blast finish, tritium sight, and Culina boot grips in Macassar ebony. Will post pics when I get the gun back.
