Being a fan of the “race to the bottom” that manufacturers are taking in regards to weight, it pleases me to see V7’s introduction of a dedicated sport-set of lightweight safety/selectors. Like most V7 products, the selectors make solid use of titanium and machined billet aluminum.

The right-hand only comes in at 8.6 grams and the ambidextrous a paltry 10.5 grams. Options include a 57-degree throw (both right and ambi) and a 90-degree throw for right-hand only. (Personal thought: Nuts! They were just about perfect, I would like to see the 90-degree for the ambi).

Either style clocks in at a reasonable $51, but the ambidextrous are currently sold out.
