Ambidextrous Safety Selector
When looking for low dollar upgrades for your #AR15 , there are a million options out there, but not many of them offer the bang for your buck that the Radian Talon ambidextrous safety does. Let's face it, the factory selector that is factory fitted on most rifles is a less than optimal solution, one of the first things I address is that shortcoming.
My selector switch was made prior to Radian changing their company name from AXTS, but the design is still the same as it was prior to the company rebranding. They package everything in plastic bags to make the install easily as well as allowing Radian the ability to offer several variations without a huge stockpile of parts.
Radian, formerly AXTS, packages everything in plastic bags for easy installation. One of the biggest benefits of the Radian Talon selector is the ability to choose between a 45-degree selector throw or a 90-degree throw. I chose to go with a 45-degree throw on all of the rifles I have the Talon installed on to keep the right side selector switch clear of my trigger finger.
The selector “barrel” allows the shooter to choose a 45-degree or a 90-degree selector throw. Once the selector “barrel” is installed with the supplied detent and spring, the next step is to install the switches themselves. Since I am a right-handed shooter, I chose to install the longer switch on the left side of the rifle and the shorter one on the right to keep it as clear of my trigger as possible. Radian uses a dovetail to keep the selector switch secured to the barrel and a spring-loaded detent keeps the switch from sliding off.
