Ambidextrous Safety for Colt Defender
My father-in-law carries a Colt Defender, but he is a lefty. He is looking for an ambidextrous safety for it.  Where can he find one?

Online, MidwayUSA.com or Brownells.com.  Beyond that, I don't know your geographic location.  In Houston, you can always check with Collectors' Firearms.

Re: Ambidextrous Safety for Colt Defender
I forgot to mention that 1911 safeties usually have to be fitted for proper function.  Unless you know how to do this, send the gun to a gunsmith.
