Cutting off the right side slide release from the ambi part eliminates that friction, which is most prevalent at the wall of the trigger pull You can actually see the right side of the frame push out a little as the trigger pull completes and the trigger bar rubs against the ambi release. My recent experience with a wilson was disappointing One cracked before i completed installation, the replacement was so spongy that pushing the right hand side wouldn't completely disengage the left side These weren't the shielded ones mind you, but these ambi ones were just mim'd.

My 5” prodigy has run 100% except for an old batch of reloads from last year They run through my glocks fine but there isn’t quite enough crimp on them to make the prodigy happy There is an oocassional ftf with these loads Everything else runs like a champ The chamber is a little tighter than my glocks Wilson high wide ambi thumb safety
I don’t have this issue with my 1911’s but the 1911’s don’t have the fat grip of the prodigy. I was thinking of replacing it with a single sided thumb safety, but before i do i just want to make sure i'm not going to need it Can anyone think of a situation where you would need an ambi safety in competition? I need to replace the ambi thumb safety on boopsie, a uspsa single stack 1911 The old muschke (spelling?) is wearing loose at the connection It gets heavy use as i actually am left handed
Needs to remain uspsa ss legal Ambi safetys operated by right hand shooters are not routinely subject to the stresses imposed by left hand shooters who shoot with a high thumb Their technique transmits torque thru the joint between the right side of the safety and its left side This is a legitimate issue for left handed shooters Since the grips (hogue fancy hardwood) were not very expensive i decide.
