I don't understand the poll.

I don't understand the poll.

Pick one from 1-3 and one from 4-5.

1-3 is how you like your safety paddle(s).

4-5 is your handedness.

I suppose you could just vote 4-5 if you don’t use a safety but I would assume those people would just skip the poll completely.

[UNK]

Pick 1 or 2
If you picked 2 make a choice between 3&4
Pick 5 or 6

What purpose does this bandwidth serve?

What purpose does this bandwidth serve?

Considering he was the guy behind the extended Shield thumb safety and is working on a P365 version, probably to determine lever sizes that people want to buy.

Product development. The fee has been paid for supporting business but it has not been posted in the supporting business section. I heard our fearless leader is busy. Soon™️

Even on 1911s that came with an ambi thumb safety, like my Baer PII, I had it removed and replaced with a smaller, strong side safety. The PII had safeties that reminded me of canoe paddles. I went with a traditional Colt style/size safety.

For a non 1911, that had a thumb safety, I would still prefer this same (approximate) size.

I dont have experience with that safety. Do you ride it when shooting?
ETA are you talking a traditional modern type safety or the old style nub?
Like a tactical style?
Can you post a pic?

Voted ambi, same size, right handed. I’d just note that for me at least, that “same size” is thin. I think the fact that most carry (and really most non-competition-specific) 1911s come with thin or “carry profile” safeties says something.
