    Hello,

    I have a Wilson ambi safety installed on my 1911. It's the model with the skinny right paddle and the wide left paddle.

    Since I'm left handed, I cut the left side down to about 1/8" to match the right side - it was getting in the way.

    The 1/8" paddles work great for carry; no snags at all.

    I'd like to find a wide paddle for the right and side. I doubt I'd use it for carry - though it's a possibility as I ride the safety. There are one or two local IDPA matches in the summer, and that's all the wide paddle would be used for.

    Called Wilson and they will not sell just one side. (I figured they may have had one laying around due to a damaged left side, whether it be form overzealous fitting or just a defect in the workmanship. They had them, but would not sell 'em.)

    I start a new job within a couple weeks, and would be able to pay for it then, or maybe work out a trade of some sort.

    Thanks,

    Josh <><
