That is a very good point. The safety is very hard to reach with a pistol grip. Another point for the birdshead grip.

I think I'll avoid the sidesaddle for now and go with a 8 round tube extension.

I'm still leaning towards the birdshead grip. They aren't very expensive and I'd really like to at least try it out. If I don't like it I can always either a) put my pistol grip and adjustable stock back on. Or b) get a standard stock.

Thanks
