Phase 5 90 degree ambi safety in black is one I'd buy again. Both sides function identically with positive detent. Black anodize matches mil-spec parts. Standard install in any milspec lower with the standard detent spring. Reliable budget ambi.
Phase 5 ambi safety is a traditional 90 degree throw on both sides. Lever sizes are matched for a consistent feel. Black anodize matches a basic black receiver. Cheaper than the Geissele ambi options without being chintzy. Drops into any milspec lower.
