			There are a lot of aftermarket safeties available for the Remington 870 shotgun: S&J Hardware, Wilson Combat (Scattergun Technologies), S&J Hardware, Vang Comp Systems, etc.
Which one do you use and why?

			I have'nt ordered one yet, but GG&G in Arizona has a new one out that looks very nice.  Should be top quality at a very affordable price.

			Why doesn't the after-market one have the red color, so you know the safety is off?

I think that red color on safety is important and I am surprised that some manufacturers don't paint their safeties. By the way, one of the readers of the blog (Michael) has painted his Scattergun Technologies jumbo head safety:
I simply put  some red enamel paint in the outside groove show it would “show red” when the safety was disengaged.

Jeff, I purchased the GG&G safety button and installed it last week. Safety is well made and the Red band is a nice touch. Jim

By the way, Jim, one of the readers posted a comment on the following page:
http://www.rem870.com/2010/02/18/reming ... ware-vang/ 
He has a problem with his GG&G safety for Remington 870, maybe you can help?
Vitaly.
