There is no such thing. All thumb safeties for 1911 need fitting, ambi or otherwise.

Since this is a critical piece that determines weather the pistol will fire accidentally, it really should be installed by a gunsmith.

the WIlson and Ed Brown Tactical (thinner paddles) are the ones I use. they all need to be fit....also I find that they also need to have the sharp edges smoothed out...
