Dr Mitch Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I see two different single side safeties in the Stoeger Pro Shop. They have the same picture, but one of them says 14.1. I have no idea what that means. The product descriptions are typical vaguery, totally unhelpful. What say you? I have turned my safety on many times by accident, and although it has gotten very rare, it really ruined a classifier recently that was an easy slam dunk for an 80-90% run. It's about time to get rid of the ambi safety on my guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Don't know the difference in those. I've been running my Lim Pro with the right side safety off the gun and the little post protruding. I haven't bought a single side and don't want to deal with the tiny roll pin everytime I want to break down the gun and polish more.. At some point I might just gring down the post and call it good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeOfToren Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I have the 14.1 and it is the one in the middle below. Not sure about the other one, but my guess is the other one is "extended" single-side safety, which is fatter than 14.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manguydudebro Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Instead of grinding down the left safety, can you just remove it? Or install a single right sided safety? I did see that thread about the flat left safety from Eric. New to this platform and have not been successful finding an answer. Coming from a G34, my left hand really takes a beating from the left safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I have the safety on the left in the above pic and ride it like a *thumb rest [generic]*. I'm talking about grinding down the right side just to flush which would eliminate the roll pin hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Do you have smaller hands or shorter fingers? A personal favorite about the Tanfo line is the way I can't help but park my thumb on top of the safety and hold it down while I shoot the gun. It's literally designed for my thumbs personally. At some point I want to put wide Lim Pro safeties on my Stock 3, which came with the regular width Ambi. Maybe someone will trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I wear a size medium glove. I put a set of EGW grips on the Lim Pro and the DA trigger reach is doable but I wouldn't want it any further out.. The Lim Pro safety is like a huge ledge sitting there for my thumb. I shoot my 1911s with the same grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no right sided single side safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't give a **** about aesthetics, just wanted it flat. Guess he didn't care if he was production-legal or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatriotDefense Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Links are for picture references for the OP EAA / Tanfoglio Witness Extended Single Side Safety- http://patriotdefense.com/product/eaa-tanfoglio-witness-standard-single-side-safety/ EAA / Tanfoglio Witness Single Side Safety (14.1)- http://patriotdefense.com/product/eaa-tanfoglio-witness-single-side-safety-14-1/ Basically the extended single side safety is equivalent to what comes on your Stock II or Stock III...... just single sided.

Wesquire Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) I don't think anyone has really addressed OP's question yet. On the benstoegerproshop website, there's 2 entries for seemingly the same part. Even lists the dimensions. Same width. Neither is extended. Both are single sided. I think it is just a mistake they made when putting it on the site. http://benstoegerproshop.com/eaa-tanfoglio-witness-standard-single-side-safety/ http://benstoegerproshop.com/eaa-tanfoglio-witness-single-side-safety-14-1/ Looking closer, there are some slight differences I can see with with grooves and an extra notch.

I do not use my thumb to ride any safety on any gun. It just stays over it with no pressure. Several, perhaps many, times I have activated the thumb safety during an aggressive draw or reload, and the last two occurences have delayed my Production M card by yet another month or two. So irritating. My forefinger knuckle is what does it, pushing against the right side safety lever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronArcher Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 XXL hands.I ride the safety HARD.Virtually impossible to engage the safety by accident.Sometimes I use the gun in IDPA ESP so I have to be able to unlock the gun reliably.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngodwetrust21 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Anyone know if the single sides safety will work for a lefty? Or do they all go on left side of the gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
