    that's how I am too actually.

    We get to use both sides of the body equally

    "that dude has his pistol and rifle mags on one side and rifle and pistol mags on the other ....... what's wrong with him?!"

    On a side note: switching from troy to b.a.d. ambi safeties. The troy right side selector has been seperating. The dovetail setup not up to task.

    Troy mag releases? If so, how have they been holding up?

    I think he meant Troy ambi selectors. Unless I misunderstood.

    You did; he said they switched to B.A.D. selectors because of the Troy dovetails not holding up

    OK, he said he switched his whole dept to ambi mag releases and safeties. Then he said he had to switch the Troy ambi safeties to B.A.D units. Then I asked how the Troy mag releases are holding up. I assumed they are Troys.

    KAC ambi lower, RAPTOR charging handle, and KAC endplate is good for ambi use. I do like the VLTOR loop style endplate though.

    For non ambi lowers, BAD-ASS selector, KAC selector, and KAC ambi mag releases work well. The Norgon seems awkward to me, but I cant figure out exactly why. If I use one ever again, I'll update.

    What have you lefty shooters done to your AR?

    I'm not a lefty, but I've grown fond of ambi tools (Ritter RSK, HK/Walther PPQ). As a result I've ordered some AXTS AX556 stripped lowers. That plus the Raptor charging handle (and BAD ASS) sounds like a pretty optimal ambi setup.

    Now if Grant would just get LPKs back in stock...

    Troy ambi mag release, BAD selector (thick side on the right), BCM AMBI charging handle. However, being so use to having to pull the mag with the right mag release(Marine Corps) I still tend to favor it. But when I'm focused on what I'm doing and not letting muscle memory take over I am glad it's there.

    The Troy is very simple to use and gives a large area of purchase even for those of us with raccoon paws.

    The BCM, well it's BCM can't go wrong there!

    The BAD...I have an earlier version and there isn't a real positive switch from and to safe..can't say I'm huge fan of that but as I understand the newer ones are better. Correct me here if I'm wrong.
