   I ordered this Safety switch for two reasons: One, I wanted the red so that the Safety would be easily recognizable and two, I wanted a switch that didn't protrude so far from the side of the receiver or was excessively long. I initially had the same misgivings about this Safety switch that many of the other reviewers have written about. The resistance seemed to be a bit much and the paddles were a bit sharp on the edges. I had even went ahead and ordered another Safety switch. But while waiting for my new switch to arrive I tried lightly greasing the Safety switch barrel assembly and Trigger catch and, I just started working the switch. Once every couple of hours I would simply flip the Switch OFF and ON three times. By the time my new Safety switch had arrived, I was not the least bit interested in using it. I had gotten quite used to the Flip Switch and very much appreciated the unobtrusive way it hugged the receiver. One other thing I have since done that may (certainly no significant difference) have helped is mount the switch paddles upside down (you have to switch left for right to do so). I think I like that a hair better. It should be noted that I have fairly large working (landscaping, etc) hands and I am right handed. So, when I flip the Safety OFF, I am pressing the inside knuckle area of my thumb against the switch. When I flip the Safety ON, I turn my thumb somewhat counter clockwise and use the pad of my thumb. The combination of using the switch and the manner I do it has alleviated any feeling of stiffness or sharpness. It functions as easily and as crisp as I think any nice Safety switch should!

   I wanted something other than the run of the mill switches and this was exactly that. Great looks and functionality as well as easy installation. I really like Strike Industries quality and packaging, fit and finish is always great.

   I installed this on my Anderson lower multi caliber and had doubts that it would fit since I was reading reviews on multiple websites that on some lowers, it’s kind of lopsided, moves back-and-forth from side to side, loose, not an exact fit, so I said I’ll give it a shot and it fits perfectly no wobble it’s not loose it screws on nice and tight. Just so everyone knows it is a little tight flipping it from fire to safe because it’s brand new of course, so move it a little bit. I flipped it up and down about 50-60 times and now it’s much smoother

   Bought this to color match a build. Product is very lightweight. I wish it were just a bit longer for easier manipulation, but over all good product. Easy to install. I would definitely recommend this and every other product I’ve purchase of Strike Industries.

   I love the switch. I did have to modify the spring for the detent as it was too strong. I cut about 3 rings off the end of the spring and it works flawlessly! Good resistance and feels solid when rotating the switch. I do like the choice of making it ambi or either left or right. It’s cool how interchangeable it is and you can get an ambi for under $40 is always a plus!

   Looks great. The switch is a little sticky/rough in the beginning, but after 30 mins of flipping it safe/fire while watching a show, it became more smooth. The metal edges can feel scratchy (lightly painful) when you are trying to flip it quickly; personally prefer smoother less textured edges. It's designed to be short, which I realize I do not like. This decreases the torque available to flip, which increases the effort and precision needed to flip the switch compared to a standard length safety selector switch.
