Battle Arms Pro Ambidextrous Safety Selector for S&W M&P 15-22, Steel Black

The Battle Arms Pro ambidextrous safety selector for the S&W M&P 15-22 is a serious upgrade for shooters who want genuine left-right versatility without the ergonomic compromises of a single-sided control. Built by Battle Arms Development—the outfit that pioneered the modular ambidextrous safety for the AR platform—this steel safety lever handles faster transitions, easier shooting from both shoulders, and the kind of positive, rock-solid engagement you expect from duty-grade components.

What sets the Pro apart is its no-nonsense mechanical design. Instead of relying on fragile spring-loaded detents that can fail or strip, the internal locking mechanism creates a positive lock on the lever itself—there's no tiny set screw head to shear off under use or during disassembly. The reversible throw design gives you two angle options (0°–60° short-throw or 0°–90° standard), and both the standard and short levers are fully swappable, so you can dial in the throw length and lever configuration that works best for your grip and shooting style. The 5/64" set screw is purpose-built to resist stripping, so you won't end up with a safety that wobbles after a few range sessions.

M&P 15-22 shooters often overlook the factory safety as a bolt-on bottleneck, but switching to a quality ambidextrous control instantly makes the rifle more accessible for training new shooters, switching shoulders mid-string, or just moving the gun between left and right-handers at the range. If you've already invested in quality glass, a decent trigger, and reliable ammunition, your safety deserves the same attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this safety work on my S&W M&P 15-22?

Yes—this selector is specifically designed for the Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 platform.

Can I switch between short-throw and standard throw angles?

Yes. The reversible throw design includes both 0°–60° (short) and 0°–90° (standard) options, and the levers are fully interchangeable, so you can swap between them as your preference changes.

What's the main difference between this and the factory safety?

The Pro features an internal locking mechanism instead of spring-loaded detents, a dovetail design that eliminates exposed screw heads, and true ambidextrous controls that work equally well for left and right-handed shooters. The factory safety is single-sided and relies on traditional spring detents.

Is this ambidextrous safety really ambidextrous?

Yes. Both the standard and short levers are fully interchangeable and can be positioned for left or right-handed operation, giving both shooter types the same positive engagement and throw options.
