Does Battle Arms have any plans in the future for a Titanium or lightweight Bad-SS?

We do indeed for retail sales.  We make LW (aluminum levers with lightened steel selector centers) for Spikes Tactical, retail versions will be forthcoming

Not at the moment, as soon as we can manage to have some free machining time

I just ordered my Ti eps from revolvr, now I need the Ti safety selectors.  I'll be waiting.  Think it will be this year or beginning of next year?

We will be releasing the lightweight selectors later this year after we are done making OEM versions for other manufacturers.  





The safety center will remain steel but with lightening cuts and the levers will be in 7075T6 Aluminum & Hard Anodized.  





We prefer not to use titanium for the center as the detent groove can be chewed up by the harden stainless steel detent and affect the smooth feel and operation of the safety selector.  Titanium tends to be "soft" and gall in comparison to our heat treated hard steel centers.  We want to save weight but not at the expense of any decrease in performance and reliability.
