If you're looking for a cost-effective upgrade for your AR 15 rifle, there are many options. But few offer such a price-performance ratio as the Radian Talon 45/90 ambidextrous safety for the AR 15. Let's face it, the original safety for the AR 15, which has seen very few changes since the 1950s when it was created, and with which the vast majority of AR 15 rifles are equipped today, is not optimal in many respects. One of the first things users do with a newly purchased AR 15 is replace the safety selector.
One of the biggest advantages of the Radian Talon 45/90 ambidextrous safety for the AR 15 is the ability to choose between a 45-degree and a 90-degree lever movement between positions. This mode is selected very easily by simply rotating the central axis of the switch during its installation. In the 45-degree mode, the lever generally interferes less with your index finger, the trigger finger. And the movement required to toggle the lever is halved.
This set of Radian Talon 45/90 ambidextrous safety for the AR 15 includes one short lever and one long lever. The levers are fully interchangeable, so it's up to you on which side to place the lever. Generally, the longer lever is placed on the side you operate the safety with, and the short lever on the opposite side. However, the choice is entirely yours.
The levers of the Radian Talon 45/90 ambidextrous safety for the AR 15 are installed using a precisely machined dovetail interface and a spring-secured pin that holds the levers in place. This makes the assembly and possible replacement of the levers very easy and quick, while also eliminating screws that could loosen or break.
The levers are made from aircraft-grade aluminium with a hard anodized finish (Type III) or Cerakote, depending on the variant. The central axis of the safety selector is made from hardened steel with a nitride surface finish and is black in color.
The Radian Talon 45/90 ambidextrous safety for AR 15 is compatible with most AR 15, AR 10/SR 25 rifles and also with MCX and MPX platforms.
