- Cylinder & Slide make ambi safeties for the High-Power, along with a
- few other combat/IPSC type accessories. Denny's lists their extended
- mag release button ($21.95) ambi safety ($75.95) extended non-ambi
- thumb safety ($38.95), extended slide release, combat trigger, reduced
- power springs, and commander-style hammer.
-
- They say that the ambi safety does require "some fitting."
