I'm a Southpaw and bought a Protector from Guns, Gifts, and Gadgets (shameless plug for a local dealer). It didn't have an ambi. safety, so after firing about 350 rds. of factory ammo, I sent it back to Wilson's. I asked that they put one of their s/s competition ambi. safeties on and trim the paddles to match the original r/h safety on both sides and finish w/Armor-Tuff to match the rest of the gun. I got it back inside of 2 weeks. Functioning has been flawless except for a couple of bobbles w/185-gr. STHP in the first 20 rds. out of the gun. The black Armor-Tuff finish is still looking like it's about new despite being carried a lot when off-duty in an IWB holster. (Gotta carry a G19 & G-26 on the job.) Only downside was the cost ($160) vs. having the gun built to order w/the ambi. ($50). The people I've dealt with at Wilson's on a number of issues/purchases have been really friendly and courteous with a "can do" attitude. I bought one of their closeout (dark brown was disc.) sharkskin belts. Found that it was smaller/shorter than my Sparks belts of equal length. Thought that I could lose 5 lbs. amd still wear it. No go. (This is what an Overeaters Anon. meeting must be like: I won't lose weight for my health, but just to save $50 on a BELT???!!! Move over, Rosie - and pass them ribs. There isn't that much difference in a 38" or 36" waist.) Anyway, I called them back about three weeks later. I mentioned my plight and how it had helped add years to my life and all - even with Rudy's BBQ being next door to the State Police office I HAVE to go to regularly. They said,"No problem. Ship it back." They even credited back the shipping. I keep buying stuff from 'em and have yet to get a bad product - or anyone having a bad day. YEMV. Regards, Andy.
