Review for
Elftmann Tactical Ambi Speed Safety
I've heard other reviewers state that this product "fixed a problem that they didn't even know that they had." Well then, good for them!
I can't say the same though. Is it a good product? Absolutely! Does it work each and every time? You bet! Is it intuitive? Well that depends... If you are new to the AR platform and have only used a cross bolt type safety on other firearms, then heck yes, it is intuitive! However, if you have been training on the AR platform for any significant amount of time (in my case, well over 35 years) then no, it is not intuitive. There will be a retraining window for you with this product. Not a huge retraining window mind you, but a retraining window nevertheless. So yes, I give it 5 stars for quality, price and workmanship. I can't not recommend it under the above caveats.
But for this old warhorse, the retraining it would take to make sure that I didn't have to think about it when the going got tough, is not worth the effort for what little (if any) that may be gained.
