Good advice from a friend and Instructor:

"Stay away from ambi-safety/selector levers on the AR-15 system. Wi th this dubious arrangement, it is difficult to rapidly put the selector into the ' fire' position with the right thumb, as the right index finger block s rotation by the right extension of the lever. Accordingly, this setup will prevent the shooter from disengaging the manual safety rapidly and dependably, and t hus may well endanger his life. Left-handers need to learn to operate the manual safety with their strong-hand index finger. When shooting off the l eft shoulder, right-handers need to acquire the same skill."

Comment: As is the case with so many other errant add-ons, ambi-safety levers are for people who don't plan on using the rifle for serious purposes. Highly not recommended!
