MJinPA Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I need to fit a new safety for an sti edge and want the lowest profile for the right side. Currently have an egw. I cut the right side off because I would occasionally engage it while reloading. It looks a little goofy but they also look goofy without an ambi safety. Akai guns seem to be very low profile on the right side. Anyone sell these or are they being shaped with a dremel?

Stays away from right hand knuckle and left side safety is a higher angle to allow left hand top really get up highSent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Shape it the size you want with a file. Then progress down with sand paper etc to polish them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tha1000 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) My akai is definitely not a stock shape. They shape them. The lowest profile ones I have found are the stock STI safeties that came on my old Trojan. Why not just fit a single side EGW and be done with it?

I have a fitted single sided as a spare but they just look odd on a 2011 frame. My current hack job functions fine but it's a hack job with smoothed edges. And, we all know that looks matter in the gun games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that any "carry" ambi would be low profile enough. Pretty sure the safety on my akai was a wilson high ride to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
