Installed XRail Oversized Safety on my Franchi Affinity

[Mercs]

I was looking at the TTI which is just ok (I don’t like logos on my guns unless someone wants to pay me for advertising lol), and also, I like the more rounded shape of the XRail safety. I did some preliminary checks and found the shape of the Affinity trigger group wont allow it to seat all the way flush in Fire. It needed some slight modification.

So I made an imprint in the polymer of the trouble spot by tapping down on the safety with a hammer. You can see the faint scar it left behind, that was my guide.

I then used oil, needle files, sandpaper, and fine steel wool to reshape the area to the best of my meager abilities.

Polished up the grooves in the safety, the plunger and spring also, and then I popped it in.

In testing, I really do like the shape of this and I think it’ll be tactile enough and easy to knuckle over when on Safe, and yet stay out of the way when on Fire. I’ll post a pic of it on the gun when I get a chance

I know people who file them down a little so it doesn't come in contact with the trigger finger while firing, but I truly like it stock. Its easy to put on, and you almost *can't pull the trigger* with the safety on, never brought the gun up still on safe using it!

You are right, it’s huuuuge. I’m gonna try it out, it may be fine as is. Filing is always an easy option though
