The Troy Industries SSDTAM5S0BT00 Ambidextrous Safety Selector transforms standard AR-15 fire controls with true dual-sided operation and enhanced ergonomics. This precision-engineered component eliminates the limitations of mil-spec safety selectors while maintaining full compatibility with standard lower receivers.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional single-sided safety selectors, this ambidextrous design features independently operating levers on both sides of the receiver. The black polymer construction reduces weight by 40% compared to steel alternatives while providing superior corrosion resistance. Each lever operates with 45-degree throws and positive detent engagement for reliable safe/fire positioning under stress.
Key Features
- True ambidextrous operation with independent left and right-side levers
- Lightweight black polymer construction resists corrosion and wear
- Positive 45-degree throw with audible and tactile detent feedback
- Drop-in installation compatible with mil-spec AR-15/M4 lower receivers
- Low-profile design prevents snagging on gear or clothing
- Textured lever surfaces provide secure grip with gloves
- Reversible for left or right-handed primary operation
Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F without binding or failure. The polymer material maintains dimensional stability while the steel internal components ensure long-term durability. Competition shooters benefit from faster transitions, while tactical applications gain enhanced weapon manipulation capabilities. The corrosion-resistant finish withstands extended exposure to moisture and cleaning solvents.
