Finally got a safety that works for me as a lefty. Switching from my old milspec safety was a breeze with this Expo Arms selector. Engagement feels positive and the steel construction is reassuring. Fits my AR perfectly.

Availability is good: it was in stock at one retailer or another nearly every day in September 2026, and today the one retailer we track has it in stock. Prices barely moved in September 2026, holding around $19.95, so there haven't been real sales lately. Buying today, the lowest price is $19.95 at Primary Arms, which matches the best price we saw in September.

Finally got a safety that works for me as a lefty. Switching from my old milspec safety was a breeze with this Expo Arms selector. Engagement feels positive and the steel construction is reassuring. Fits my AR perfectly.
Really like this ambidextrous safety. Smooth engagement for both my left and right hand. The phosphate finish looks good and seems tough. Perfect for my new 5.56 build.
