I decided to go all Fortis on my current M5 build and absolutely hate this safety selector. It doesn’t come with a detent or spring. I tried 3 different “branded” detents and found 1 that worked, kinda. Keep in mind, this is on a brand new build. I don’t have a trigger, any pins in it yet, just threw the safety selector in to get a feel for the build. This set up is hard to maneuver. It doesn’t not give a positive “click” feel going from fire to safe. The ambidextrous levers are both the same size so safe off, your getting jabbed in the hand. Lefties will have the same issue. After my test fit I had little gold shavings in my lower. Not happy with it. Wouldn’t recommend it and will not even give it to a friend who needs it. I will be swapping it out for a BAD selector ASAP. Everything else I have ever bought from Fortis has been great but this is huge fail.

Fits great, love the short throw.

It's easy to overlook the safety selector when choosing what to upgrade (or even complete a build). Afterall, a mil-spec SS does the job. But the SS is also a critical part of any weapon, and on an AR, it's a frequent touch-point. Too long or too extended out and it will interfere with your trigger hand. Too small or with weak engagement of the detents and it's all too easy to have it misalign.
The Fortis SLS SS is the answer to all these issues -- and it provides for a rock-solid selector, without wiggle, waggle, or play of any sort. It also looks pretty cool, too.
Do your AR a favor an install this SS. You won't be disappointed.
Pros:
- effective
- solid
- Secure
- positive

Bought the black colored one with gold body, well the gold seems to be made of brass or some super soft metal making the detent stick into selector and it's super had to operated have to use both hand really hard to get it out of fire and safe position. Maybe other models will be better but gold selector with black paddles are terrible and are trash, would not recommend.
Best Used for:
- Throwing money into trash

Awesome selector! I love the 50 degree throw. Smooth and crisp movement. The milled out side window to expose the gold slide in portion is a cool touch of aesthetics. The beefed up ridges on the selector makes it easy to grip and throw the selector back and forth from safe to fire.
