Does anyone know of a good product?

I shoot left handed and am having trouble reaching it. I typically have to switch with my trigger finger knuckle on the left hand which slows down the time it takes to shoot.

I don't have huge hands but don't think they are that small. I do tuck my rifle into my body tightly and I think that's the primary cause since i have very wide shoulders and the only way I can reach the safety would be chicken-winging my arm out instead of tucking it.

Is there a product that can help me? Keep in mind that I am lefthanded and want to engage the saftey with my left thumb on the right side of the receiver. Does anyone else have this problem?

If I understand you correctly you want an ambidextrous safety?

No, I already have one, my thumb just has trouble reaching it naturally.

Practice.
Sit in front of the TV and switch from safe to fire (thumb) while raising and lowering your rifle. Eventually it will become natural.

Yeah, I had a MIAD on there and switched it during my magpul class to a standard grip. Then I tried ergo and had the same problem with all of them.
