On a hunch I purchased a C&S high-ride thumb safety. I like the feel of the safety once I got it fitted properly, and it is comfortable on the thumb.

Too bad the part just doesn't work right. The detent face isn't big enough - this makes it so the part can easily be pushed up into the action by the thumb safety plunger, and it also makes it near impossible to press the thumb safety lever down.

So I'm looking for a new high-ride style thumb safety. I looked at Wilson's, but theirs is ambi. I don't want an ambi.

Are there any other high quality (ie. Wilson quality?) high ride ONE-SIDE thumb safeties out there? Brownells gives me nothing.

Thanks

I called C&S and they wouldn't make good on it because I started to fit it. I was pissed and asked them if they were going to sell that warped piece of crap to another unsuspecting customer if I hadn't started to fit it. They would not stand behind their product. No return, period. I will never buy again from them no matter how many folks post that they like their stuff. NO customer service.

Same experience here. I asked them to make it right, they wouldn't. The best they did was said "send in the receiver and we'll install it for a fee". Screw that - I can fit my own safety, and it isn't the receiver's fault.

I just ordered another Wilson High Ride and cut down the off side so that it didn't inter fear with my trigger finger. I put them on all my guns and the quality is always great. I have pleaded with Wilson to make a single sided safety just like their high ride ambi but no luck so far. If I really only wanted a single side, I would by the Wilson ambi, cut off the right side and silver solder the tongue in the grove to make my own.

I guess I'll give it a shot. I am nervous that it would break at the wrong time. Not like I have a ton of options so I'll see what I can figure out.

Thanks.

After someone has altered the part, I think they have a right to not fix problems that may have been caused by someone else. That said, I'll still agree that for the price, the part is pretty rough.

TYPICALLY I would agree - except that the part of the part that I modified had NOTHING to do with the part of the part that was out of spec/improperly molded.

And really - you can't TRULY test if a safety works with the plunger properly until you have the nub filed to fit the sear, since you can't rock the safety all the way into its up position until it is filed. It was not until I was done filing that I realized that the detent face isn't tall enough, and that if the safety is engaged I can't take it off without first depressing the plunger.

I COULD file on the detent face, but I think that is inviting troubles. The plunger shouldn't stick too much farther out of the plunger tube than it is already, I think.
