Ambidextrous safeties for a Para Ordnance

by Hoot , Diversityville, Liberal-sota, Wednesday, June 05, 2013, 07:38 (4193 days ago)

I have a Para WartHog, wide body 1911 in .45ACP. Nobody specifically lists an ambi safety for this model other than the statement "Fits all 1911's and clones." and Para has not responded to my e-mails. I have waded through many, many pages of Google searches with results being 'Yes' to 'No' and a few points between.

Does anyone know which model/brand will fit up? I am a bit concerned that the typical right-side retention "wing" will not work with the thin grip panels and wide body.

As for 'why', the WartHog is carried and shot, almost exclusively, with my left hand (for a couple reasons) so I'd like a left-handed safety.

Thank you!
