TandemKross has recently debuted their latest offering with the Cornerstone Rotary Safety for the iconic Ruger 10/22 pattern.
TandemKross states “Cross bolt safeties—otherwise known as push-button safeties—are nothing new and are easy to use.
That doesn’t mean they can’t be improved. To activate the factory push-button safety, the operator just pushes the button one direction or the other to toggle between SAFE and FIRE.
While not difficult to do, there are two key things that could be improved upon.
Firstly, depending on what side of the firearm you are standing on, the only person who can really visually confirm the SAFE or FIRE state of the firearm is the user.
Secondly, regardless of whether you are left-handed or right-handed, you must break your grip at least once to bring the firearm from one state of SAFE or FIRE to the other and back.
An ambidextrous rotary safety addresses both of the primary concerns with a single upgrade!
A safety selector with levers on both sides of the firearm visibly shows a clear difference between SAFE and FIRE to the user and those standing nearby.
The RSOs at your local range and matches are sure to love you for it.
Plus, you can now toggle between SAFE and FIRE while maintaining a positive grip on the firearm with your shooting hand, right-handed or left-handed!
Additionally, a toggle-style safety selector reduces the possibility of an accidental button push.
Resting your firearm on an uneven surface could potentially switch a cross bolt safety from the intended SAFE or FIRE position to its unintended opposite.
A rotary safety reinforces that any change in the firearm’s state must be intentional and thus helps make it safer.”
