Hi all,
first post here and i am enjoying all the information. Will i be able to have the safety on a T series changed over so i can shoot it left-handed. I have the opportunity to purchase on but i am unsure about the safety issue.
Thank
Andre

Hello & Welcome:

Yes, you can use a MKIII Safety or a C&S Ambi-Safety on Pre-MKIII High Power's.

You cannot switch sides with the single side safety thow, if that's what your asking.

Tsc, no. Ther are two ways the safety functions. One is to lock the sear. That is internally via a tab on the inside of the safety lever. The other is to lock the slide. That is externally via the visible tab at the top of the safety. All both tabs are part of the body of the safety lever. Using an ambi safety is best. Although, if you really wanted to, you could grind the left side lever off the sear lever body so long as you did not remove the slide locking tab. That begs the question, why go to all that trouble when an ambi safey offers more options?

that's exactly what i said. removing the excess 'lever'. it may aide in ccw, or whatever-but it can be removed--if he wanted to do so?

Being left handed myself and having carried all and sundry guns including BHPs with ambi safeties I can say that the 'wrong side' safety lever isn't an issue.

Over my four decades of carrying weapons for work I've come to the conclusion that most of the perceived problems righties (and lefties) have are just that - perceptions. The ambi safety lever issue is but one example. Another is lefties who say they have trouble working a 'right-handed' rifle. I've never owned a 'lefthanded' rifle in my 60 years on this planet and have yet to have a problem working any rifle I've come across, been issued, or owned.

Then there is my all-time favourite. That is a person who won't carry cocked & locked because it is - they say - 'unsafe', but will carry a Glock which has virtually the same trigger pull and no safety. Perception without logic, opinion without fact.

Having said that, both cocked and locked carry and Glocks are safe assuming the operator is also.

Rant mode off.
