why do so many people switch to the BIG speed safety button?

is it that much better than stock? is it because its cheap? i know its super cheap, but is it effective?

Because it's easier to find and manipulate under stressful conditions.

Is it that much better than stock? In a word, YES! The fact that it's minimal cost is just a bonus. As far as it's effectiveness, I'll let you be the judge of that, but I think you can determine how I feel by my previous answers.

FWIW: If I shot a shotgun right handed, and I very seldom do, I would have them on every 870 I own. As it is, I have mine converted to a left handed safety, and it's a bigger head than "stock" but not rounded like the Vang safety.

thanks biker. i was planning on getting one anyway, cause i think it looks cool, you know it just looks different i like different!!

WARNING : Over-sized or extended safeties will cause product failure and possible injury when used with Remington 870 SpecOps Stocks.

Mixing aftermarket parts from different sources is ALWAYS done at your peril. Motorcycles, cars, trucks, firearms; installation of stuff can cause incompatibility issues.

I prefer the Vang Comp extended safety. It makes ambidextrous operation much more positive, and requires less of a reach. It also makes operation with gloves much more positive, and gloves are REALLY important if using a shotgun for breaching doors.

Knoxx stocks do not impress me; my shotguns wear normal furniture on the butt end.

My knoxx stock impress's my wife and kids. That's why I got it. Good chance that in a SHTF situ...There's a chance that they'll be manning the safe room shotty. I know i can handle it, but I want the other members of the family to be able to use it efficiently/accurately. No apprehension at all with the Knoxx on it. Unfortunately, I have to deal with the stock safety and can't use the BIG. But if you train with the stock safety, you get over that hurdle.
