dvc4you Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I am gripping hard with my strong hand and slowing the slide with mi thumb. I have an AKai Shogun model (my avatar), running an 8 lbs recoil spring. Which shielded ambi safety do you recommend? Swenson? PT? Double Tap? I will be fitting it myself, done it before...but I am no gunsmith... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnettcw1 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Can't speak for the others, but the Double Tap is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accu9 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I just purchased (3) PT's, they are fantastic. I have not personally tried the Double Taps, but I like the PT shields significantly more than the Swensons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balakay Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I have 4 Double Taps. Excellent quality part, no more thumb drag on slide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) I had the same issue. I bought 2 Pt's and am very happy with them. Plenty of meat on them to file and make them fit your hand. The front is how they started and the rear is pretty close to where I ended up. Edited March 9, 2017 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssanders224 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 PT all the way. Although, both other options are heads and shoulders above Swensons. They are flat out terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Ive used and like the pt. they do need fitting and some polishing if you want a nice finish. The dt look nice too but I haven't bought one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akaider Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I just went thru the same problem after careful consideration of the reviews on the different shields I picked the PT. I am not disappointed at all. Looks and feels awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbecker Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I have the double tap one, it's a nice part, the only thing I don't like about the shielded safeties is it makes it a little harder to rack the slide since you lose some area to grip on the rear of the slide because of the shield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbecker Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 My comment above related to a limited gun, wouldn't be an issue on a open gun with a slide racker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
