Use the ambi selectors on the end of your arms.

No need to shell out $60 for an ambi selector. I use Midway's $20 AR-Stoner brand ambi selectors (#451138) and they work fine.
I like the design because it uses a socket head cap screw instead of the flat head screw with the small size hex wrench that is typ. used. |

I am a big fan if the seekins ambi selectors. Most of my rifles have one. They don't break the bank either at under 40.00

I love my BAD-ASS ones, but I recently tried out Radian and it's pretty nice, especially for the price.
The Radian is definitely worth trying out. |

I've used the Battle Arms ambi-selectors on my last 3-4 builds and have been happy with them. I just bought one of their light weight models for my in-progress 6.5 Gredel build, but I'm really liking the looks of that Radian. Might pick one of them up to try.

I hated the badass safety, throwb was sloppy, not crisp at all. I don't see what all the hype is about.
I use v7 3gun safety on all my ARs. Haven't found one I like better |

My favorite selectors are V7 standard ambi or not, 45 or 90 degree style. The ambi does either 90 or 45.
Like Griffin Armament selector if you want a thick 90 degree only ambi. It does not have an excessive texture to chew up your thumb. Like AXTS / Radian for the short slanted right side that messes with my trigger finger less. Also a 45 or 90 swapable. Liked the BAD for slim right side and non aggressive thumb texture. Worst I ever had was a Bushmaster with a roll pin to hold it from spinning. Worst design ever... that was before any of the above existed though. |

I recently got a few JBO scalloped selectors and figured out they can accept Colt screws.
I would call myself an ambi-selector/CH/magazine release whore because I like to set up rifles that way. 
I will be picking up a few more when they are back in stock. |

I've preferred the Battle Arms BAD-ASS series of safeties ever since they were first introduced to the market. I don't think that there is a more versatile, feature rich, ambidextrous safety made.
I have not tried the Radian Talon yet, but I hear great things about them. My next build will have a set. I'm just dreading having to replace all of my safety's if they are better than the Battle Arms. |

I did not know about that one. For $22, I'll probably order one for my next build. They're my current go-to for new builds, because they're the same quality as all the other parts Seekins makes, but quite a bit cheaper AND they don't have that ugly (IMO) "jagged golf ball" texture. Win/win.

What's the point of an ambi selector for a right handed shooter? What am I missing?

Seekins and AIM are both 90° and 60° depending how you install it So any differences between the two? Maybe a bit finer fit/finish on the Seekins? |

On the B.A.D. CASS I have the, small screw holding the levers on rusted out and broke. I like the idea behind being able to switch levers out but I won't use this style again, it's just a small weak point in the design.
Now I just use a colt ambi safety. The regular non-ambi colt safety is also pretty slick, since it can be reversed for dedicated lefty or dedicated righty since it has the ball bearing detents cut out on both sides so you can flip it around. |
