For right-handed precision shooters with large paws, what size selector would you recommend for the right side that's minimally obtrusive? I assume the short throw version is more advantageous in this regard?
Thank you.

Thank you.
The BAD-ASS ST or CASS ST is very advantageous for both left and right handed shooters when shooting prone.
With a traditional ambi 90 degree selector or normal BAD-ASS for that matter, I still had to break grip in order actuate the selector.
With the STs, I never have to break grip when shooting in prone.
I love these things and have them on three ARs so far.
I have broad palms with short to average fingers and find the standard-short works best for me on the right side. I can easily manipulate it to go on-safe but it's unobtrusive.

I have large hands and use the ST levers. I use standard on the left and stubby on the right. I was using the crank on the right, but was having problems with inadvertently reengaging the safety with my right index finger knuckle.
With the stubby, I can still activate the safety with the first knuckle on my right hand, but I no longer do it unintentionally. The ST levers definitely make manipulation a lot faster.
I don't know if I'm the only one, but when I installed both ST levers, they were a bitch to move back and forth. Two different lowers from two different companies had the same problem. I had to slowly wear in the detent areas by moving them back and forth a lot (sometimes with a small hammer).
Another big guy with large hands here. I use the short throw selector with the stubby levers on both sides. Perfect setup for me.
Thanks guys. I ordered two stubbys and a third standard length as an option for testing.
Good choice. I really like the 45* with short levers on mine.
wicked windy, super far, a bunch of Mills..... Send it!
Just so you guys know that I did take your recommendations:
Surprising how little effort is required to manipulate the short levers.
To change the subject slightly: I think someone should come up with an open source AR thread. Ask M4C to recommend/vote for components based on the poster's requirements. This is sort of done now, but is usually specific to a particular item...and many don't listen. The requirement would be that one has to purchase and install the recommendation. Maybe I'll be the cavy.
Just so you know... Not to badmouth your choice or a product backed by many reputable folks.... But just so you know....
"We also asked John [Noveske] what the reason was for the 60 degree throw, he replied they had worked on multiple variations, and found that with a less than a 60 degree throw, in extreme conditions, the weapon could still be fired while on safe if enough pressure was exerted on the trigger."

Id like to see some independent testing on BAD's short throw selectors, all sizes. See if there is any truth to this claim and if so, how worrying it is. The article obviously failed to name names, but still disconcerting. I kindly doubt that John Noveske would slander another man's product just to sell his own.
