The thing I *need* to address is that damn thumb safety. It literally hurts to operate it. Moreover, I don't need an ambi or anything that extended.

All in all, I think it's a right fine gun for $400 and I'm very happy I bought it!
When you get close to wanting to Cerakota a gun give me a PM...i did a ton of studying on this and just had a gone done not to long ago....stuff is good, don't hesistate to do one just find a guy who really knows what he is doing that is important....costs about $125

Just to follow up. I've tried over a half dozen times today to call. Now, instead of a voicemail system all I'm getting is a constant busy signal. RIA sure isn't winning any CS awards thus far. Is there a better way to reach a human there to help me sort out my gun? If the price is right and the turn around time is reasonable I'd have no problem having them swap my safety for one that doesn't cut my thumb.
