I don't know that it matters but it's for a Colt.

Does anybody know who makes one other than Stag?

Could this be good? Never heard of the company...

If it's a newer Colt, then the one in the rifle is reversible. If it's older, then the ambi by DPMS seems to work better then most. I know...I know, but I've used ambi's by LMT, Stag, RRA, some no name, and some sold by DPMS. The DPMS ones just work better. Go figure. You can also buy the Colt reversible from SAW, Brownells, and probably others.

The rifle is a ban era model made around the year 2000. I would do the ambi but it is a problem too. The left side selector, just like a right hand only model, hits the top of my hand when ready. It would be the same for a righty shooter if I switch to the left hand version. I have somebody else that will shoot my rifle right handed from time to time also.

What I really need is an ambi that is situated so when ready the point is not contacting the hand.

I'll second the DPMS safety as the slickest generally. I've used, over the years 2 LMT's, 3 Stags, and probably 5 DPMS. Not a huge number but I know what I felt and prefer DPMS.

I probably will. That looks like the best one yet.
