Overview
The Radian Talon-Gi Safety Lever in FDE is crafted from durable 7075-T6 aluminum and features a hardcoat anodized finish for enhanced wear resistance. This safety lever is designed to provide a secure and tactile operation, allowing builders to easily manipulate their firearm's safety without compromising control. It is commonly found in builds with a mid-length gas system chambered in 5.56 NATO, making it a popular choice for those looking to enhance their AR-15's functionality.
Radian Talon-GI Safety Lever - FDE was the sixth most added safety selector on GunPartPicker in August 2026, behind the Timber Creek Outdoors Ambidextrous Safety Selector - FDE, with about 4% of all safety selectors added to builds. Down from #5 in May, June and July. Builds with this safety selector are split between .223 Wylde (50%) and 5.56 NATO (50%), nearly all on mid-length gas, and mostly AR-15 (86%, then AR-10 14%).
Availability is good: it was in stock at one retailer or another nearly every day in August 2026, and today 6 of the 7 retailers we track have it in stock. Prices barely moved in August 2026, holding around $44.99, so there haven't been real sales lately. Buying today, the lowest price is $44.95 at Optics Planet, which matches the best price we saw in August.
