I understand the why for the Ambi Safety but is there is reason not to?

Thanks,

My reason not to use the ambi safety is it would seem much easier to inadvertently knock the gun off safe while it's being carried on a day to day basis. I'm right handed and the ambi doesn't seem like a good idea on a carry gun because of this.

I too, have had ambi safeties wipe off. A lot of this has to do with your choice of leather, but since I carry in an open top speed scabbard most times, I do not like having a safety on the exposed side.

If my gun wether it be a pistol or rifle is equipped with a safety lever I will only carry it with an ambi safety period.

I don't care if it wipes off one hundred thousand times, I will need it to turn off quickly only once maybe twice.
If I must go left handed or pull it in a struggle and I can guarantee you that Mr. Murphy will be there and I will not be able to snag/wipe it as I draw/pull/struggle for it.

I know that on that day it will obviously suffer a broken plunger, split grips, twisted metal and require the equivalent of 10,000 pounds to turn off and by god I want to be able to turn it off with some resemblance of a firing grip using my thumb.

Yes, I require an ambi safety always.
If all of the ambi safety levers, buttons, rods were to disappear I will have my gunsmiths deactivate and remove the safety from my guns.
