Cutting off the right side slide release from the ambi part eliminates that friction, which is most prevalent at the wall of the trigger pull I was thinking of replacing it with a single sided thumb safety, but before i do i just want to make sure i'm not going to need it You can actually see the right side of the frame push out a little as the trigger pull completes and the trigger bar rubs against the ambi release.

My recent experience with a wilson was disappointing
One cracked before i completed installation, the replacement was so spongy that pushing the right hand side wouldn't completely disengage the left side
These weren't the shielded ones mind you, but these ambi ones were just mim'd. Edited february 10, 2024 by 392heminut My 5” prodigy has run 100% except for an old batch of reloads from last year They run through my glocks fine but there isn’t quite enough crimp on them to make the prodigy happy
There is an oocassional ftf with these loads Everything else runs like a champ The chamber is a little tighter than my glocks Wilson high wide ambi thumb safety
On the flip side, you now have $1k invested into a gun that is now worth like $300.
Ambi safetys operated by right hand shooters are not routinely subject to the stresses imposed by left hand shooters who shoot with a high thumb Their technique transmits torque thru the joint between the right side of the safety and its left side This is a legitimate issue for left handed shooters Flipping the ambi safety to off will pinch the palm of my left hand
I don’t have this issue with my 1911’s but the 1911’s don’t have the fat grip of the prodigy. Lone star innovations makes a nice ambi safety, i had a tactical wide that was very nice Iirc i got it on speed shooters website There are several others, i have medium sized hands and the wide portion was perfect for resting my thumb
