Lefty Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I have a new 20 ga Montefeltro Silver, As a left handed shooter I would like to change the safety to left handed. Can anyone tell me how to do it, or should it go to the gunsmith? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcop Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 It's simple if you have the proper tools. It's held in the trigger guard by a small pin that holds the spring and plunger in place against the safety button. You pull the trigger mechanism out, press/punch the pin out (proper tools) to relieve spring tension (be careful not to loose the spring) and pull the spring and plunger out of the top of the hole. Push the safety button out and reverse it. Put the plunger and spring back in and very carefully, press/punch the pin back in. You'll need to keep pressure on the spring to hold it down while you put the pin back in, otherwise you can damage the spring. It's kind of tricky. Don't ask how I know this. If you don't have the proper tools, take it to a gunsmith. It's a 5 minute job, if that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Thank You. I will pull the trigger mechanism and decide if I'm up to the task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
