I also won't buy a backward safety gun. Can I adjust and use it? No doubt. However, I want consistency in how my safeties work. I have guns with tang, push button, bolt mounted, and receiver mounted safeties, two and three position. But dammit I want them how I want them. No pistols with slide mounted safeties, no bass awkward safeties, and no more that do not lock the flipp'n bolt closed.
